The UK government gave its daily briefing from Downing Street led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Earlier today, the government confirmed it would be the last of the daily conferences, which have taken place - and been televised on BBC One and BBC iPlayer - since mid-March.

Mr Johnson was joined by chief medical officer Chris Whitty and chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance – the same line-up as the first press briefing on coronavirus.

What did we learn from today's UK briefing?

Today marked the end of the daily government press conferences. From now on, the government says it will only hold a briefing when it has something to announce.

Today's conference was held by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, the chief medical officer Prof Chris Whitty, and the chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.

Here's what they told us:

* Where it is not possible to stay 2m apart, people can stay 1m apart with added precautions, such as plastic screens, not sitting face-to-face, and wearing masks
* As planned, from 4 July, hotels, pubs, bars, cinemas and many other businesses can open, following Covid secure guidelines. A full list is here.
* From 4 July, members of two different households can meet indoors, and stay over, but (unlike those in 'support bubbles') should stay socially distant
* Overall deaths in the UK are returning to normal levels, but the disease has not disappeared and is growing in other parts of the world
* If people only pay attention to the measures that have been eased and not the restrictions, the rate of infections will increase again
* Changing lockdown and social distancing rules is not risk free and will be reversed if needed
* Prof Whitty expects the current situation, where coronavirus is circulating widely, to continue into 2021
