Coronavirus Pandemic In London

People walk past coronavirus handwashing advice on a billboard at Elephant and Castle in the borough of Southwark, which has among the highest number of covid-19 coronavirus cases anywhere in the UK, in London, England, on March 30, 2020. Official figures report that Southwark currently has 368 cases of covid-19, the highest in London and fifth highest in the UK as a whole, behind Sheffield (428), Glasgow (449), Hampshire (498) and Birmingham (578). The neighbouring London borough of Lambeth is similarly hard-hit, with 366 cases, sixth-highest in the UK. Britain meanwhile began its second week of lockdown today, with the measures set to be reviewed after an initial three-week period, though an extension is widely expected. Across the country a further 2,618 new cases were confirmed today, a slight rise after two days of falls, with a total of 1,408 people having so far died in the UK after testing positive for the virus.
