Coronavirus UK: Clap for NHS Carers reaches fourth week

Millions of Brits up and down the country have taken to their doorsteps for the fourth week running to say thank you to frontline staff amid the coronavirus outbreak.

People have once again been showing their appreciation for key workers including supermarket staff, the emergency services and teachers.  

Manchester United Football Club joined the latest round of celebrations by lighting up Old Trafford in blue and spelling out ‘NHS United’ on their club sign in tribute to NHS workers across the UK. 

It comes after the death toll among NHS staff reached 45.

A No10 spokesman said: ‘Like millions of people across the country, the Prime Minister joined in the clap for carers this evening, to say thank you for the incredible efforts of the country’s doctors, nurses and care workers.’
