LIVE Coronavirus : People Making A Difference

We appreciate this is a challenging time for people as coronavirus continues to spread
But amid all the worrying news, there have been reasons to find hope
BBC News is sharing stories of how people are helping and looking out for each other.
Many of us have been getting creative in lockdown, perhaps taking up a new hobby, or picking up an old one.
Six-year-old Oakley has made one of his pastimes, drawing animal pictures, into a great charity fundraiser by selling pictures to raise money for local hospitals.
In total he raised £621 for Colchester and Ipswich hospitals.
Essex Police thanked Oakley for his hard work on social media.

Some of the first air passengers to be affected by new quarantine rules for those coming to the UK have cast doubt on their effectiveness.
All arrivals in the country must provide an address where they will self-isolate for 14 days, with spot checks and fines for those found to be in breach.
But some passengers claimed it was impossible to keep a safe distance from others after landing at the airport. One arrival said: "The buses, it was full of us in there, so no 2m distance, no social distancing or anything."
Stansted Airport said capacity on buses from aircraft to the terminal were running at 50% capacity. A spokesman added: "The guidance at the airport is the same as on public transport. Where social distancing isn't possible, the advice is to wear face coverings."
In July last year, Shannon, who has Down's Syndrome, lost her mother to cancer.
Then in March, as the coronavirus pandemic began sweeping across Britain, Shannon broke her ankle.
This made it impossible for her to stay in her first-floor flat and she moved to temporary accommodation.
Then Shannon contracted Covid-19.
As a naturally sociable person, Shannon found it difficult to distance herself from other people while unwell. Conversations took place over whether a new secure placement might be the best option for her.
But Shannon's main carer Caroline Sinfield told her bosses that she would move in with Shannon while she recovered from coronavirus.
Shannon credits Caroline as saving her during lockdown. You can read their story here.
The UK has recorded its lowest daily rise in the number of coronavirus deaths since before lockdown on 23 March, latest government figures show.
A further 55 people died after testing positive with the virus as of 17:00 BST on Sunday, taking the total to 40,597.
This included no new deaths announced in both Scotland and Northern Ireland for the second consecutive day.
However, there tends to be fewer deaths reported on Mondays, due to a reporting lag over the weekend.

Michael Whitty, 47, set fire to its equipment box in Kirkby after reading internet claims about the virus, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
The father-of-three, who had previously admitted arson, was jailed for three years via videolink from HMP Altcourse.
His defence said Whitty acknowledged that his response was "wrong and disproportionate".
Theories claiming 5G technology helps transmit coronavirus have been widely condemned by the scientific community.
