UK Prime Minister Johnson orders Britons to stay at home

Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered Britons on Monday to stay at home to halt the spread of coronavirus, imposing curbs on everyday life without precedent in peacetime.

All but essential shops must close immediately and people should no longer meet family or friends or risk being fined, Johnson told Britons in a televised address.

Deaths from the virus in Britain jumped 54 to 335
