Minute's Silence for Keyworkers

There will be a minute's silence across the UK at 11:00 BST on Tuesday to remember key workers who have lost their lives to coronavirus.

Government workers will take part, and No 10 said it hoped others will too.

At least 90 NHS staff have died since 25 March, as have many care and transport workers.

The minute's silence is timed to coincide with International Workers' Memorial Day.

Dame Donna Kinnair, chief executive and general secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said the"moment "will bring together a sombre but grateful nation."

Dame Donna said, "Whether in nursing or driving buses, our heroes kept going to work when many had the luxury of staying at home. Nobody should go out to work and risk their life. This must not be the last time that sacrifice is recognised. The country and its leaders owe a tremendous debt to these key workers and the many more who are on shift again today."

Rest in Peace -
