Coronavirus LIVE: Three cases confirmed in Sheffield as UK enters 'delay' phase
Three cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Sheffield, as the country moves into the ‘delay’ phase in its plan to tackle the virus.
This means that rather than trying to contain the the disease, the government will aim to delay its peak.
The number of cases in the UK is 596. Boris Johnson called it the “worst public health crisis for a generation”.
The Johns Hopkins University’s global tracker says the number of cases worldwide is 127,863. 4,718 have died, 68,310 have recovered.
