Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Thursday evening. We'll have another update for you on Friday morning.
1. Some restrictions in Leicester eased - but not all
The local lockdown in the city of Leicester will continue, Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said - although it will be partly relaxed for schools and early years childcare. Earlier, the city's mayor called for 90% of the lockdown to be lifted and said residents will be "very angry" if restrictions are extended further. Meanwhile, the rules for the hundreds of thousands of people shielding in Scotland and Wales are being relaxed.
2. Russian spies 'target vaccine research'
The security services in the UK, US and Canada are warning that Russian spies are targeting organisations trying to develop a coronavirus vaccine. The hackers "almost certainly" operated as "part of the Russian intelligence services", the UK's National Cyber Security Centre said. Russia has denied responsibility.

3. Encouraging results in vaccine trials
In more positive vaccine news, the early results from clinical trials have been encouraging - and have raised hopes that an effective vaccine could materialise. There are 23 vaccines currently at the clinical trial stage around the world. Studies in the US and UK suggest several experimental vaccines produce a good immune response in volunteers without serious side effects.
4. Emergency loans for universities about to go bust
Universities have already warned they might face cash problems from the coronavirus pandemic - with 13 saying they could go bust. But under new plans announced by the education secretary, universities in England at risk of insolvency could apply for emergency loans from the government. But any rescue would come with conditions, including cutting pay for vice chancellors and senior staff.
5. Spanish king leads memorial
Earlier today, Spain's king led a socially-distanced ceremony to commemorate the more than 28,000 people who have died with coronavirus in the country. Relatives of some of the victims attended and laid white roses outside the Royal Palace in Madrid.
