Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn begins by congratulating Boris Johnson on the news that he and his partner are expecting a baby.
Turning to the coronavirus, he says Labour "broadly" supports the government strategy.
However he says "a decade of Tory austerity means our NHS is already struggling to cope".
What additional funding will the health service get? he asks
Boris Johnson replies that the government has put "record funding into the NHS" and will give the service everything it needs to cope with the crisis.
And he announces that the health secretary will "bring forward measures to allow the payment of statutory sick pay from the very first day you are sick instead of four days under the current rules".

The SNP's Tommy Sheppard says the new International Development Secretary, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, has previously written an article questioning the value of the government target to spend 0.7% of GDP on overseas aid.
"Has she changed her mind?" he asks.
Ms Trevelyan insists she is committed to the target adding she wants to spend the money in a way that supports other countries but also represents value for money for the British taxpayer.
The weekly slot is the chance for backbench MPs to question the prime minister in the chamber - and the names of the lucky few are listed on the order paper ahead of the session.
Of course, some MPs also hope to get lucky by catching the eye of the Speaker. (That's what they're doing when they bob up and down in their seats...)
