Patients in England can now have home abortions during the COVID-19 outbreak, the government in England has said.
Abortion policy has changed several times during the current pandemic. Women and girls wanting to terminate an early pregnancy were first told the service would be available but that decision was then retracted.
Now, the government has decided patients can take two pills at home instead of going to a clinic to avoid exposure to coronavirus.
Charities had been worried that women who want an abortion but have underlying health conditions would put themselves at risk to have the procedure or turn to dangerous alternatives.
