In pics: UK coronavirus death toll crosses 18,000

The coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc in the United Kingdom too as the Britain's death toll hit 18,100. UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the country is making some progress through the "peak of the coronavirus pandemic crisis". Raab, who is in the forefront after Prime Minister Boris Johnson tested positive for coronavirus, said that the UK's strict social distancing rules were making a difference and saving lives. “It has been a mental strain on people. We are making progress through the peak of this virus but we are not out of the woods yet,” said Raab, as he stressed that the biggest risk remains of a so-called “second peak” if the lockdown is eased ahead of time. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel, there is certainly a glimmer… but we are not there yet,” he said.
