Ambulances bring patients to the Royal Hospital London, as hospitals across the UK struggle to face a surge in coronavirus cases. The country has registered its record daily death toll with 1,564 deaths. IMAGES
In response to the outbreak of a rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus mutation, over 40 countries have banned flights from the UK. At the same time, the UK government has shut down most of London and South East England in a new round of lockdowns. Over the weekend, rank-and-file Londoners flocked to train and bus stations to get out of town while they still could. But according to Business Insider, members of the monied class didn't have to battle for space on an overhead storage bin. Instead, British high society went to London's private jet terminals to catch charter flights out of the country.
Images show the scene outside St Thomas' Hospital in London where British Prime minister Boris Johnson is in intensive care. Johnson spent the night in the ICU with a deteriorating case of coronavirus and has been given oxygen but is not on a ventilator, according to a government minister. IMAGES
Not deserted, but central London is a lot emptier than usual as many people stay home on government advice to avoid spreading COVID-19. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government has ramped up the response to coronavirus, asking people to avoid unnecessary social contact, after new scientific advice that infections and deaths would spiral without drastic action.

The owner of one of London's most renowned fish and chip restaurants says the hospitality industry across the city is on the brink of collapse due to the coronavirus pandemic. Ali Ziyaeddin, from Rock & Sole Plaice in Covent Garden says they 'aren't on their knees,' rather 'on their bellies.'
