In response to a question about his strategy, Boris Johnson says the UK will follow scientific advice not "political diktat".

Asked about firms profiteering during the crisis, he says firms should not be "exploiting" the needs of the public at a time of "national emergency".

He says the government is "looking very carefully" at what it "may be necessary to do" using the law to stop profiteering, "as in wartime".

Boris Johnson again faces pressure to do something to help the self-employed.

The PM admits it was “easiest” to help employees and more “tricky” to work out a package for the self-employed.

“But that has been done at incredible speed,” adds the PM, promising that Chancellor Rishi Sunak will make an announcement on the plan tomorrow.

He adds: “I don't think there has been a time in our history in the last century that a government of this country has put its arms around so many people to get through such a tough time.”

Analysis from BBC Scotland's business and economy editor, Douglas Fraser:

The PM is asked if more lives could be saved if he stopped more people going to work.

Mr Johnson says he wants to "repeat the basic message, if you can stay at home then you overwhelmingly should".

But he says for those who have to go to work, it is "vital" for employers to follow rules on social distancing and "ensure" the necessary protection.

England's Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty says every country is approaching this “slightly differently and has a slightly different epidemic pattern”.

He adds that people should avoid anything that is “discretionary”.

Sir Patrick Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser, says testing is "crucial" and the UK needs to do more of it.

He is then asked about a recent Oxford University study which said as much as 50% of the UK population may have been exposed to the virus.

He says that they "don't know" yet how many people in the UK have had the virus, which is why more testing is vital.

Boris Johnson has kicked off the UK government press conference, repeating that the government will take "the right measures at the right time".

Mr Johnson is joined by the chief medical officer for England, Prof Chris Whitty, and the UK government's chief scientific officer Sir Patrick Vallance.

The PM says any "world-class health service has only limited numbers of doctors, nurses and specialist equipment", so the more people who become sick at any one time, the harder it is for the NHS to cope.

"It is vital to delay the spread," he adds. "And with your help, we will slow the spread of the disease."

The PM thanks "everyone who has been following the clear rules set out on Monday", along with frontline NHS staff and public services.
