COVID-19 in focus for the UK
- More measure brought in across North East of England
- Virus accelerating across the country
- Number of people in hospital doubling every 8 days
- National Lockdown never off the table, but it is the last line of defence
- Belgium took action, but they took action and it came down
- Testing labs are working flat out

GBP down a few ticks, but no alarm in the price action yet. One to watch
