The Sun says it is backing calls for the public to applaud NHS heroes fighting the coronavirus on Thursday again, and every week to show their appreciation.

The Metro says troops have helped build a hospital in nine days, and say doctors leaders are demanding more personal protective equipment for NHS staff fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

The Daily Star criticises Boris Johnson for the lack of NHS workers being tested for COVID-19, saying just 2,000 have been checked.

The Independent says Michael Gove admits the UK needs to go “further and faster” on testing NHS staff for coronavirus.

The i says the government admits that testing of NHS staff has been “relatively small” after it emerged only 2,000 workers had been checked to see if they had coronavirus.

The Guardian says stable coronavirus patients could be taken off ventilators in favour of those more likely to survive it.

The Daily Telegraph says ministers have been unable to answer basic questions about when the UK’s testing regime for COVID-19 is to be dramatically increased.

The Times claims the prime minister has been forced to shift strategy on the government’s testing regime for coronavirus after criticism it has been too slow in testing frontline NHS workers.

The Financial Times says almost one million people have applied for Universal Credit since Boris Johnson urged the public to stay at home two weeks ago.

The Daily Mirror says only 2,000 of 1.2 million NHS workers have been tested for the coronavirus.

The Daily Mail leads on the ‘testing scandal’ and says thousands of NHS staff are stuck in quarantine because they or someone in their home has symptoms.

The Daily Express says banks are being urged to “repay the favour” of the 2008 bailout as the coronavirus crisis deepens.
