Has the Church of England responded on the latest comment of its "Head"? In a brief speech recorded on first April and televised on the fifth, the "Head" of the Church of England (that is to say its professed "Head" Queen Elizabeth II) mentioned 'prayer and meditation' but did not specify to whom prayer should be addressed in the present global crisis.

Since prayer has become critical, with the Prime Minister of the UK now in intensive care, has any comment arisen from the Church of England which might guide would-be praying citizens as to the direction of their petitions ?

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's 'coronavirus' speech

Edit (upon comment): The title of 'Head' (which I deliberately put in quotation marks) is that commonly used, for example see the recent headline in the Daily Telegraph 'the Queen's role as the Head of the Church of England'. The repeal of the Act of Supremacy, 1534, and its subsequent revamping in 1558 (with the substitution of 'Governor' for 'Head') is treated by many as a mere technicality which they (such as the Daily Telegraph) choose to ignore.
Michael Nazir-Ali, former Anglican Bishop of Rochester, published a Comment on page 16 in today's Daily Telegraph regarding the Queen's speech.  He made a plea for Churches to reopen for Easter in order to give people hope and to allow Holy Week processions.

With regard to prayer, he said this:


  Numerous studies have shown the importance of the spiritual in the healing process.  Prayer is known to increase confidence in the possibility of being healed, and others praying for us gives us a sense of a social net when we are feeling alone and threatened.  At this time of stress, the presence of chaplains in hospitals, visiting wards, is most important."


No mention from the Anglican Church that I can find as to the specific direction of prayers and petitions.
