I'd like to wish a #HappyVaisakhi to everyone celebrating today.
At a time when people normally come together I know it's difficult to not be visiting the Gurdwara or attending street parades. But this year we must look after one another, protect the NHS and stay at home.

1/ We're providing more than £14 billion from the Coronavirus emergency response fund for public services, including the NHS and local authorities involved in the fight against #coronavirus.

Today I held important discussions with my G7 counterparts around our joint response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
It's vital we work with our partners to fight this virus together and support the global economy.
104
These are tough times and as I’ve said before, we can’t protect every business and every household. The OBR today have been clear that if we had not taken the actions we have, the situation would be much worse.
In other words, our plan is the right one.
105
Today I agreed an economic action plan with my G20 counterparts:
🤝Suspending debt payments for poorest countries
↗️The swift implementation of a global support package
🌍Joined-up efforts to fight the virus

Constructive conversation today with members of BAME media on the measures in place to protect jobs and businesses.
It was great to hear how our economic support is being received by different communities across the UK and, of course, how we could improve.
