Doctor calls for PPE from roof as UK 'claps for carers'

People around the UK clapped and cheered for key workers, carers and the NHS at 8pm on Thursday, as has become a weekly occurrence while people stay indoors to slow the spread of coronavirus. 
One doctor banged a pot with a spoon on a roof in Hackney, London, and called for more personal protective equipment for hospital workers saying: 'Clap for PPE'
