What did we learn from today's UK briefing?

Today's government press conference was led by Transport Secretary Grant Shapps. He was joined by Prof Stephen Powis, the medical director of NHS England, and Sir Peter Hendy, chairman of Network Rail.

Here's what they told us:

If you can work from home, you should. If you must go to work, you should walk, cycle or drive if you can. If you must use public transport, you should avoid peak times. Employers should help their employees to do this
When face coverings on public transport become compulsory on Monday, travel companies will be able to refuse travel for non-compliance, but will take a gentle approach. People could also be fined
People who live in more deprived areas are more likely to catch and become seriously ill with coronavirus because they are more likely to have other health issues
The government denies that Ruth May, the chief nursing officer, is refusing to appear at the daily press conference because of the Dominic Cummings story. Prof Powis said he always says what he thinks at the press conferences
The government is talking to various states about the possibility of travel corridors, where people coming to the UK could avoid the 14-day quarantine period. A review of the quarantine policy, which came into effect on 8 June, will come at the end of the month
