Downing St will give members of the public a chance to ask Boris Johnson or a senior minister a question at the government a question at the government's press conference.
The daily briefing is held every afternoon by Cabinet minister flanked by the government's health and science experts and has become the daily focus for a lot of the country - with the government using it to announce detailed plans.
It comes as the Prime Minister returns to work and the government try to keep public attention after declaring that the "first phase" of the battle against the virus is coming to an end.
Explaining the scheme the Prime Minister's spokesman said: " Coronavirus is the biggest health crisis the UK has faced in a generation, we know people are making significant sacrifices every day.
"So it is absolutely right that the public gets their chance to put their questions directly to the government and its experts."
Who can ask the question?
Any member of the public - so long as they are willing to meet a few basic criteria and are willing to hand over a few personal details.
So if you are over 18 and live in the UK you can ask a question.
But you have to be willing to give the polling company running process your full name, the region you live in and some contact details.
How does it work?
A form has been set up online to allow people to submit their question.
Every day at noon a private polling company, YouGov, will select the question that will be put to the minister or scientific expert.
The person whose question is picked will be contacted by 3pm on the day of the press conference.
A Number 10 spokesperson said: "The government will answer one question from a member of the public at the daily coronavirus (Covid-19) press conference.
"If your question is chosen, a cabinet minister will answer it during the live broadcast.
"Questions are reviewed at midday on the day of the press conference.
"Only one question will be selected each day."
To submit your question, log on to www.gov.uk/ask.
Who picks the question - and how do we know ministers won't just pick the easy ones?
YouGov do.
The Mirror understands the questions are selected at random by the pollster, who received some 15,000 questions on Monday, the first day of the new format.
But the pollster has been told questions must be questions must be related to coronavirus or the health, economic and societal impact of it.
And they must not be solely relevant to the person asking the question.
Questions will also be disqualified if they include profanity or racist language.
Once a question is selected, the person who submitted it will be contacted by Cabinet Office officials who will ask them to prove their age and identity.
The pollster will pick the question, and the minister will not see it beforehand, the PM's spokesman insisted.
The Prime Minister's spokesman said: "It will be managed independently by an independent polling firm and won't be shared with the speakers in advance."
Will they do it live alongside the journalists?
No.
Every day the government takes about eight questions from journalists at its press conference. The question from the public will happen at the same time, but they won't be asking it live.
The person picked will be asked to record a short video, or if they aren't comfortable with that their question will be read into the room.
