Coronavirus updates as they happened: 'Hardship ahead' for virus-hit UK - Sunak - BBC News
The pandemic will affect jobs and livelihoods, Chancellor Rishi Sunak admits.
As face coverings become mandatory on public transport in England from tomorrow, we've been listening to what you have to say.

Christine Bithrey, from London, told us she has chronic asthma and that wearing a mask makes it feel harder for her to breathe. In a government briefing earlier this month, transport minister Grant Shapps said people with breathing difficulties would be exempt from the new law.

Christine is currently working from home but she doesn't want to use public transport, because as her condition is hidden, she fears she will be attacked or stopped for not wearing a mask.

"I am terrified about the prospect of using public transport", she says. "A couple of weeks ago I went on a bus to a different location, and I was coughing because of my asthma. I am nearly 60. A man appeared in front of me with a disgusting tissue and asked me to put it over my mouth."

But Christine says she will need to travel to work at some point.

"I have no idea how I am going to get to my office," she says. "I spoke to some staff at Camden Road station who said they weren't even aware of any exemptions. If London Transport Police approaches me, how can I prove I have a health condition?"
