Boris Johnson ‘focused on PPE’ in first Cabinet after return to work

It comes as the nation fell silent to remember key workers who have lost their lives after being diagnosed with Covid-19.

Securing more personal protective equipment was top of the agenda for the British Prime Minister as he returned to work, his spokesman said.

The Government is facing considerable criticism over shortages of the equipment needed to keep staff safe on the frontline as they care for Covid-19 patients.
