Brits worried about the crisis will now be able to submit their own questions to the Government online.
Anyone over 18 can submit a question, with just one being selected each day.
In a statement, they said: “The government will answer one question from a member of the public at the daily coronavirus (Covid-19) press conference.
“If your question is chosen, a cabinet minister will answer it during the live broadcast.
“Questions are reviewed at midday on the day of the press conference.
“Only one question will be selected each day.”
They will be selected by an independent polling organisation, and the Government’s cabinet Minister will not know what is being asked before it happens.
Despite press questions being a live broadcast, the public will be asked to pre-record a video and will be unable to follow up on the answer given.

It comes as the Prime Minister today vowed all decisions taken will be done with “transparency”.
Speaking outside No.10 this morning, the PM made his first appearance since his video statement to the nation on April 12 after spending a week in hospital.
He said: “I want to serve notice now that these decisions will be taken with the maximum possible transparency and I want to share all our working and our thinking, my thinking, with you the British people.”
The PM also warned the nation not to let up as he returned to work for the first time since his own battle with the virus.
He said: “We are making progress, with fewer hospital admissions, few Covid patients in ICU, and there are real signs now we are passing through the peak.
“Thanks to your forbearance, your good sense, your altruism, your spirit of community, thanks to our collective national resolve we are on the brink of achieving that first clear mission to prevent our NHS from being overwhelmed in a way that tragically we have seen elsewhere.
“That is how and why we are beginning to turn the tide.
“If this virus were a physical assailant, an unexpected and invisible mugger, which I can tell you from personal experience it is, then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor.”
