Coronavirus: Johnson returns, lockdown dilemmas and Capt Tom honoured
- Published
Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Monday morning. We'll have another update for you at 18:00 BST.
1. PM back to work
Boris Johnson is back in charge of the country today after suffering from coronavirus. He'll chair the regular morning cabinet meeting on Covid-19 before holding talks with senior ministers and officials - although it's unclear at this stage whether he will lead Monday's afternoon news briefing. Read more on what it's like to recover from the disease.
2. Lockdown dilemma
Over the coming days, Boris Johnson faces hugely difficult decisions over how and when to relax the UK's lockdown. Other nations are starting to ease their restrictions, including one of the worst hit, Italy. New Zealand has gone as far as to say the virus is effectively eliminated there. On Sunday, the PM's understudy, Dominic Raab, said the UK would end up "moving to a new normal". Follow the latest from around the world via our live page.

3. Would social 'bubbles' help?

4. Coping with extra challenges
For most people the Covid-19 crisis is an unsettling, confusing time. But for hundreds of thousands of adults with autism in the UK the problems are acute. Read why. People with motor neurone disease have also told the BBC they feel forgotten because of changing government advice.
