Easter weekend in England under coronavirus lockdown - BBC News
Updates from across England including the positive action people are taking to help.
Two British health workers stuck in South Africa are appealing for help getting back to the UK so they can join the NHS battle against coronavirus.

Catriona Walker, from Manchester, and Holly Watts, from Nottingham, travelled to the country in mid-January, but are now desperately trying to get home so they can join the front-line effort.

Ms Walker, 31, said: "We're trying to get back as soon as possible. We both feel like we need to start working, we feel bad that we're not there working through the pandemic.

"Our jobs are a vocation rather than just a job. We feel really helpless being here."

The pair, who were not due to return until 14 April, booked an earlier flight once it became clear South Africa was heading for a lockdown, but that was cancelled.

They are now on a waiting list for three flights from Johannesburg over the next few days, having spent almost £1,800 each to get home.

A Foreign & Commonwealth Office spokesperson said: "We know it's a difficult time for many British travellers abroad... Our consular teams are doing everything they can to keep Brits informed on the latest developments and help them return."
