PM Boris Johnson issued a warning that "fresh air" does not give "immunity" after crowds of Brits flocked to beaches and parks this weekend. He said: "Mr Johnson said: "It's crucial that people understand that tomorrow that the schools are closed.
"I want, of course I do, people to be able to go to the parks, open spaces and enjoy themselves.
"It is crucial for health, physical and mental well-being.
"But please follow that advice and don't think that fresh air in itself automatically provides some immunity.
"Take this advice seriously, follow it, because it's absolutely crucial."
Mr Johnson told a press conference from Downing Street: "The reason we're taking these unprecedented steps is, of course, that we have to slow the spread of the disease and to save thousands of lives.
"Today we have come to the stage of our plan that I advertised from the outset when we first set out the plan of the UK government.
"When we now have to take special steps to protect the particularly vulnerable and you'll remember that I said the moment would come to shield those with serious conditions - there are probably about one and a half million in all.
"This shielding will do more than any other single measure that we are setting out, to save life."
