He will hold a Downing Street press conference at 6pm, accompanied by England's chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty and the Government's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
The announcement means that limits on numbers for sports events, pubs and cinemas are likely to remain in place, nightclubs will stay closed and people will be encouraged to keep up social distancing and working from home.
