Coronavirus Pandemic In London
A man wearing a mask walks past the belongings of a homeless person in a doorway at the Marble Arch end of Oxford Street in London, England, on March 28, 2020. Government ministers have urged local authorities to find accommodation for all rough sleepers by this weekend, with Louise Casey, homelessness tsar for the UK Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) declaring yesterday that the ministry was 'redoubling its efforts' to make sure everyone was 'inside and safe' amid fears that homeless people could become sick with coronavirus. The UK today began its first weekend under the covid-19 coronavirus lockdown conditions imposed by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday evening, under which people can leave their homes only for buying essentials, exercising, providing care and, if unavoidable, to travel to and from work. UK deaths currently stand at 1,019, after 260 more were reported to have died over the past 24 hours. (Photo by David Cliff/NurPhoto)
