THE Prime Minister Boris Johnson will make a statement on Covid this afternoon, instead of the Health Secretary Matt Hancock. Mr Hancock was originally scheduled to deliver a statement on the virus in the House of Commons at around 1.15pm. But in an update, the Prime Minister is now expected to make the statement in front of MPs instead. It comes as Mr Hancock last night described the Covid death toll exceeding 100,000 as heartbreaking as he warned there is still a tough period ahead. In a statement, he said: My thoughts are with each and every person who has lost a loved one – behind these heart-breaking figures are friends, families and neighbours.
