A town in Wales used a drone to warn the public to stay home, using a pre-recorded message to remind citizens of government social distancing measures.

Neath Port Talbot Council teamed with South Wales Police and used the drone to target hotspots where people have not been following orders.

The UK government on Friday confirmed 14,543 people in the country have tested positive for the new coronavirus, with 759 deaths.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.

For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia and death.
