Boris Johnson warns not to 'throw caution to the wind'

The government is updating guidance in England on personal contact, such as hugging, from next Monday.

Speaking at the Downing Street press conference, PM Boris Johnson said that "this does not mean we should throw caution to the wind", and hugging is still a main way that the virus can spread.

Meeting outdoors is still safer, he added, and encouraged opening windows while meeting indoors.
