At least 6,289 in Australia cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Australia and 61 people have died.

As on Sunday, there were 80 people in ICU and 36 patients using ventilators.

There are more than 1.6 million confirmed cases of the virus worldwide, and more than 97,000 have died.

Boris Johnson has publicly thanked the NHS for saving his life after being discharged from hospital , revealing his own battle with coronavirus could have gone either way.

In a five-minute video posted to his Twitter page, the PM said it was hard to find the words to express his debt to the NHS, and thanked the UK for the effort and sacrifice made while social distancing.

Johnson spent seven days at St Thomas Hospital, including three days in intensive care, after testing positive for the virus which has now killed more than 10,000 people across the UK.

He said: In the last seven days I have of course seen the pressure that the NHS is under.

I have seen the personal courage not just of the doctors and nurses but of everyone, the cleaners, the cooks, the health care workers of every description - physios, radiographers, pharmacists - who have kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harms way, kept risking this deadly virus.

It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable.
