UK COVID-19 death toll passes 20,000 as Priti Patel warns it is 'imperative' that lockdown continues

Priti Patel today thanked emergency services putting their lives on the line to tackle coronavirus - and told Brits it is "imperative" to follow lockdown rules.

The Home Secretary warned "we are not out of danger yet" as she thanked Brits for their "spirit of national unity".

Ms Patel told the No10 briefing: "Staying at home for five weeks has changed the way we live our lives and I know how tough this has been.

"This country's efforts are working...you have fostered a spirit of national unity which has helped us get through this time.

"But we are not out of danger yet.

"It is imperative that people continue to follow the rules designed to protect their families, their friends and their loved ones.

"I urge you all to stay strong and embrace that spirit of national unity by continuing to stay at home."
