UK TO EXTEND LOCKDOWN

The UK is expected to confirm a three week extension later (Thursday) to its coronavirus lockdown.

The government has already said it's too early to ease lockdown measures which have been in place over three weeks.

UK scientific advisers believe the country is reaching the peak of its outbreak, but want to ensure it has passed before the strictest social distancing rules are relaxed in any way.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock says even when the peak is reached - lockdown will only be gradually eased.

OUT: ...take time."
