6:13Now PlayingJames O'Brien pointed out a comical contradiction in Boris Johnson's bullish coronavirus battle plan as the Prime Minister laid out plans to beat the killer bug.
The Government says it is possible the coronavirus outbreak could lead to up to a fifth of workers across the country being off sick as ministers revealed their battle plan for the illness.
The document says Covid-19 could cause the police to drop low-priority cases if there aren't enough officers and force the NHS to delay non-urgent care.
But the main message of the Prime Minister's press conference was that the British public can slow the spread of the virus by washing their hands thoroughly - for the time it takes to sing 'Happy Birthday' twice.
James, however, pointed out one answer by Boris Johnson that seemed to defy that. The Prime Minister said: "I'm shaking hands continually. I was at a hospital the other night where there were a few coronavirus patients and I shook hands with everybody."
He said: "Boris Johnson, of course, had one job. One job.
"The one bit of advice that the country has agreed upon - washing hands and avoiding contact."
