Coronavirus UK: Boris Johnson joins clap for carers after illness – Daily Mail, Dailymail.co.uk

Boris Johnson led Britain’s sixth weekly ‘clap for carers’ to thank the thousands of NHS staff and healthcare workers putting their lives on the line to fight coronavirus after he overcame the deadly bug.

Clap for Carers is now in its sixth week, with millions of Britons up and down the country stepping onto their doorsteps, balconies and front gardens to applaud frontline workers at 8pm every Thursday.

The Prime Minister clapped on the steps of Downing Street just hours after claiming the UK is ‘past the peak’ of the virus and on a ‘downward slope’ in the number of deaths at his first daily press conference back at No 15.

His partner Carrie Symonds tweeted to say she had ‘another wonderful reason’ to clap for the health service this week too after giving birth to their baby boy yesterday.

There were three cheers for newly-promoted Colonel Tom Moore outside his home in Bedfordshire to mark his 674 th birthday today, with the PM giving him a personal thank you and his neighbors coming out in force to sing for him.

Tonight people stood in awe as rainbows formed above their towns and cities just as they prepared to clap – the same symbol children have been putting in their windows as a thank you to the NHS.
