Pubs, gyms, leisure centres and cinemas will be told to shut across London as the coronavirus clampdown tightens its grip. The Evening Standard is reporting Boris Johnson will shortly announce the measures after an earlier meeting.
The PM has so far advised Britons to avoid pubs and other social gatherings. Johnson is due to hold a news conference at 5pm on Friday.
