Queen cancels birthday gun salutes amid pandemic. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the Queen will not be marking her 94thbirthday next Tuesday with the traditional gun salutes this year.

PPE kit updated guidance could put hospital staff and patients at more risk. Healthcare workers have been advised to reuse gowns or wear different kit, such as plastic aprons with coveralls, if stocks in England run low.

Healthcare staff treating patients with COVID-19 have previously been advised to wear long-sleeved disposable fluid-repellent gowns, but on Friday Public Health England changed its guidance, outlining three options if the gowns are not available as “some compromise is needed to optimise the supply of PPE in times of extreme shortages.”
