Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab leads the UK briefing with Boris Johnson absent.
He says the lockdown is being assessed but it is still too early to ease restrictions. PM Johnson remains in intensive care but making “positive steps.” Confirmed coronavirus cases around the world pass 1.5 million, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
Almost 90,000 people have died with the virus. A further 6.6 million people file for unemployment benefits in the US. The virus could push half a billion people into poverty, Oxfam warns.
Spain close to passing the worst of the coronavirus outbreak, government says. Some European countries cautiously start to ease lockdown measures.
