‘Don’t put off phoning 999’
BRIAN May has urged people to call 999 or get a hospital check-up if they feel unwell during the crisis.
The Queen rocker, 72, had stents fitted following a recent heart attack, and is confident that emergency care for heart problems is “incredibly safe”.
He said: “The non-coronavirus death situation at the moment is actually about as big as the coronavirus death toll.
“If you think you’re having a heart attack, don’t hesitate for a second.”

ONE of four cops named in connection with George Floyd’s death was last night charged with murder – as protesters torched their HQ and Donald Trump threatened violence.
Rather than appeal for calm, the President vowed to unleash hell against thousands of demonstrators growing increasingly angry over the death of yet another black person in custody.
As US cities boiled over, demanding justice for Mr Floyd, Trump was accused of glorifying violence by Twitter for posting: “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
The US leader fanned the flames of tensions as dozens of buildings were razed to the ground in the third night of unrest which has left Minneapolis, Minnesota, looking like a war zone.
The protests had come before the sacked officer who allegedly knelt on the neck of Mr Floyd was yesterday arrested.
Derek Chauvin, 44, who has already been fired, was last night charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
It also emerged he and Mr Floyd had known each other for “many years” as they worked security at the same night club, according to Minneapolis City Council vice president Andrea Jenkins.
