The Corona virus is the biggest threat this country has faced for decades.

And this country is not alone all over the world.

We're seeing the devastating impact of this invisible killer.

And so tonight I want to update you on the latest steps we're taking to fight the disease and what you can do to help.

And I want to begin by reminding you why the UK has bean taking the approach that we have without a huge national effort to halt the growth of this virus.

There will come a moment when no health service in the world could possibly cope because I won't be enough ventilators.

Enough intensive care beds, enough doctors, a nurse is and as we've seen elsewhere in other countries that also have fantastic health care systems, that is the moment of real danger.

To put it simply, if too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to handle it, meaning more people are likely to die not just from Corona virus, but from other illnesses as well.

So it's vital to slow the spread of the disease because that is the way we reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment at any one time so we can protect the NHS's ability to cope and save more lives on.

That's why we've been asking people to stay at home during this pandemic and the huge numbers are complying and I thank you all the time has now come for us all to do more.

From this evening, I must give the British people a very simple instruction.

You must stay at home because the critical thing we must do to stop the disease spreading between households.

That is why people will only be allowed to leave their home for the following very limited purposes.

Shopping for basic necessities as infrequently as possible.

For example, a run, walk or cycle alone with members of your household.

Any medical need to provide care or help a vulnerable person and traveling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary and cannot be done from home.

These are the only reasons you should leave your home.

If your friends ask you to meet, you should say no, you should not be meeting family members who do not live in your home.

You should not be going shopping except for essentials like food and medicine.

And you should do this as little as you can and use food delivery services where you can.

If you don't follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings.

To ensure compliance with the government's instruction to stay at home, we will immediately close all shops selling non essential goods, including clothing and electronics stores and other premises, including libraries, playgrounds and outdoor gyms and places of worship.

Well, stop all gatherings of more than two people in public, excluding people you live with.

I will stop all social events, including weddings, baptisms and other ceremonies.

But excluding funerals, parks will remain open for exercise, but gatherings will be dispersed.

No prime minister wants to enact measures like this.

I know the damage that this disruption is doing and will do to people's lives toe their businesses earned to their jobs on.

That's why we've produced a huge and unprecedented program of support both for workers and for business.

And I can assure you that we will keep these restrictions under constant review, We will look again in three weeks and relax them if the evidence shows were able to.

But at present there are just no easy options.

The way ahead is hard and it is still true that many lives will sadly be lost.

And yet it is also true that there is a clear way through day by day we are strengthening our amazing NHS with 7500 former clinicians now coming back to the service with the time you buy by simply staying at home, we're increasing our stocks of equipment.

We are accelerating our search for treatments were pioneering work on a vaccine and we're buying millions off testing kits.

There were enable us to turn the tide on this invisible killer.

I want to thank everyone who is working flat out to beat the virus.

Everyone from the supermarket staff to the transport workers, to the carers, to the nurses and doctors on the front line.

But in this fight, we can be in no doubt that each and every one of us is directly enlisted.

Each and every one of us is now obliged to join together the Hope the spread of this disease to protect our NHS and to save many, many thousands of lives.

And I know that is they have in the past so many times the people of this country will rise to that challenge and we will come through it stronger.

The never We will beat the coronavirus and we will beat it together.

And therefore, I urge you at this moment of national emergency to stay at home, protect our NHS and save lives.
