SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford says "it is obvious the last 24 hours have spread confusion" and warns that "mixed messaging risks lives".

He asks the PM why the government did not share the new slogan with the devolved administrations before it appeared in the Sunday papers.

Boris Johnson says there has been cooperation across the four nations adding: "I think we have been able to make a huge amount of progress together."

He says there is "always political temptation to accentuate divisions but that is not the approach of the government".

As we told you earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the end of the "non-working days" in the country from Tuesday.

The Russian government had first introduced the measure on 30 March to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

In his TV address, Putin also said that:

• Regional authorities would have a final say on whether or not to ease the current restrictions
• Companies hit by the outbreak would get a tax relief
• Families would be eligible for new welfare payouts

But Putin warned that there was "no quick way out" of the coronavirus pandemic.

Russia now has the third-highest number of confirmed infections worldwide.

In response to Keir Starmer's question about different rules in different nations, Boris Johnson says: "There will be myriad hypothetical questions."

"But let's be absolutely clear - I think everybody understands what we are trying to do together.

"And that is working together as a country to obey social distancing rules that everyone understands.

"This is the moment for the whole country to come together, obey those rules and apply their common sense in the application of those rules."

Replying to Keir Starmer, Boris Johnson says the government is taking the "small limited steps that we can" to ease the lockdown.

He says there will "inevitably be complexities" for the government in this next phase, moving away from the "gloriously simple" message in the earlier phase, which was to simply stay at home.

But he says now people should "stay at home if you can".

He says guidelines for public transport will be out tomorrow, with those for workplaces being published later today.

"There are lots of questions but so far precious few answers," says Keir Starmer.

"People need reassurance and clarity.

"Above all else they need it in the next 48 hours."

He asks if the prime minister could "provide that clarity" and then takes his seat.

"There is not consensus in messaging or policy between the government and Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales," Keir Starmer says.

He notes that the document says travel to outdoor spaces is allowed irrespective of distance.

"Can you travel to the border but not beyond the border," he asks.

"That makes enforcement extremely difficult," he adds.

Sir Keir Starmer says new guidelines for social distancing on public transport are "not ready".

He adds that transport companies are being asked to adhere to rules "that don't yet exist".

He asks why the new quarantine rules for arrivals into the UK are "only being introduced now".

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is up now.

He says he recognises "just how difficult" the decisions the PM has to make are.

He says the country needs "clarity and reassurance" but these have been in "pretty short supply".

He says the fact Mr Johnson made his TV statement before the document was published "has caused considerable confusion".

"Our struggle against the virus has placed this country under the kind of strain that will be remembered for generations," says the prime minister.

"We are seeing the indomitable spirit of Britain."

Winding up his statement he says: "People should stay alert by working from home if you possibly can, by limiting contact with others, by keeping your distance and by washing your hands."

"If everyone stays alert we can keep the infections down," he adds.

"That is how we will be able to save lives and save livelihoods."

"Every day we shall monitor our progress," says Boris Johnson.

"If we stay on the downward slope, then and only then will it become safe to go further and move to the second step."

He explains this will include schools opening and potentially holding sporting events behind closed doors.

"This will provide a much-needed boost," he says.

Mr Johnson also says people will be allowed to drive “as far as you like" to reach outdoor spaces.

He confirms that the standard fine for breaking lockdown rules will increase from the current £60 up to £100.

This will double with each repeat offence, he adds, up to a maximum of £3,200.

Boris Johnson says social distancing requirements will "inevitably" limit capacity on public transport.

He says new advice to wear face coverings on public transport and in enclosed spaces does not include the wearing of medical face masks.

These, he says, should be "reserved for people who need them".

Boris Johnson tells MPs that the reopening of society and the UK economy should go ahead with "utmost caution".

He says the R rate - which measures the spread of infection has fallen from between 2.6 and 2.8 in April to between 0.5 and 0.9 now.

He says making sure the disease does not spread and reopening the economy will be a "supremely difficult balance to strike".

He adds that some parts of the UK may need to stay in "full lockdown" longer than others - but this should be short term.

Stay with us for updates.

By now you may have already heard that people in England are being advised to wear face coverings on public transport and in enclosed spaces where social distancing is not always possible from Wednesday.

We have more details as well as analysis from our correspondents and some of your questions answered below.

And here we explain how you can protect yourself from being infected.

In total 1.3m Britons have returned to the UK using commercial flights since the pandemic struck, the foreign secretary has said.

Speaking in Parliament, where will be hearing from the prime minister soon, Dominic Raab also said 30,000 Britons had returned via 141 chartered flights.

He said as a "last resort" the UK is offering citizens "stranded" abroad support up to £3,000 towards accommodation and food.

He adds that this “special package” runs up to £4,000 in support for couples, and £5,000 for families.

The government has published some answers to FAQs on its website including "what can I do on 13 May that I can't do now?".

The answer includes spending time outdoors, meeting one other person from a different household and going to a garden centre.

It comes as we expect to hear more from Boris Johnson very shortly.

As well as wearing a face covering in enclosed spaces the government has set out some general advice for people to follow to lower the risk of transmission of Covid-19.

• Stand side-by-side - "You can lower the risk of infection if you stay side-to-side rather than facing people"
• Wash your clothes regularly - the new guidance says there is "some evidence that the virus can stay on fabrics for a few days, although usually it is shorter"
• Make sure rooms are ventilated. Evidence suggests that the virus is less likely to be passed on in well-ventilated buildings and outdoors

Advice to maintain a 2m distance from people outside your household and wash your hands regularly remains in place.

A further 210 people have died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus in the UK, according to the latest figures announced by the Department of Health and Social Care, taking the overall total to 32,065.

On Sunday the daily death total was 269, although scientists have advised against comparing daily totals.

There have also been 3,877 new cases, taking the total to 223,060.
