Coronavirus In London

A sign on a cafe, closed due to coronavirus, informs passers-by that no food, cash or toilet paper has been left on the premises near Lancaster Gate in London, England, on March 20, 2020. In the UK it has been revealed today that the government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has recommended keeping some form of 'social distancing' measures in place for most of a year, with alternating periods of less and more strict restrictions over that time, in order to manage the spread of the covid-19 coronavirus and prevent an overwhelming of hospitals. Schools are meanwhile closing today across the country until further notice, with exceptions for vulnerable children and children with at least one parent designated a 'key worker'.
