Coronavirus

Coronavirus is a flu-like virus which has swept across the globe. Having started in Wuhan in China, the killer virus has reached every continent in the world.

Over 239 million people have been infected with Covid-19 around the world with almost 5 million deaths being attributed to the deadly virus.

Coronavirus triggered three lockdowns across the UK where there have been more than 4.1 million cases and a tragic 130,000 deaths.

But Prime Minister Boris Johnson has now set out his 'roadmap' out of lockdown which means all restrictions could be eased by 21 June 2021.

This is everything you need to know about Coronavirus Covid-19.
