No10 claimed Boris Johnson - who has appeared only rarely at the briefings - will present one of the press conferences himself at least once a week. "Given just last weekend they announced 2.2million people could leave their homes I would say there is still a need for weekend press conferences." His spokesman said: "We’re absolutely committed to keeping people updated and we’ll be continuing to do this through regular press conferences, also through information campaigns, media interviews and parliamentary updates." The press conferences will continue to be in a virtual format and continue to take questions from both journalists and members of the public. He added: "The PM will take a press conference every week alongside... the scientific and medical experts.
