Live coronavirus updates as pressure continues for Boris Johnson

We are live again today with all the important news and updates from the coronavirus crisis.

An extraordinary day yesterday rounded off a tumultuous weekend for the government over the Dominic Cummings saga.

The Prime Minister's top advisor made an unprecedented address to the press and public as he tried to explain his way out of being found to have flouted lockdown rules back in March.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson continued to back his top man in a subsequent, if not brief, press conference.

It has been a bruising weekend for the PM and his top team, who have come under intense pressure over the situation.

And they will continue to face that pressure, as well as mounting questions over the handling of the pandemic.

WIth just a handful of days until the government wants some schools to reopen, there is currently no sign of the track and trace system that is vital for the containing of the virus.

We will have all the updates, reaction on an analysis on what could be another dramatic day.
