coronavirus update news | corona virus news update live and all information

I can announce today and Gavin Williamson is making a statement, now in that in the House of Commons that after schools shut their gates from Friday afternoon. they will remain closed for most pupils for the vast majority of pupils until further notice and I'll come to I'll explain what I mean by the vast majority of pupils. the objective is to slow the spread of the virus and as I say we judge that, this is the right moment to do that. but of course as I've always said, we also need to keep the NHS going and to treat the rising number of cases.

 so we need health workers who are also parents to continue to go to work and we need other critical workers with children to keep doing their jobs - from police officers. who are keeping our safe to the supermarket delivery drivers social care workers. who look after the elderly and who are so vital. we'll be setting out more details shortly about who we mean whom we mean in these groups.

 so we therefore need schools to make provision for the children of these key workers. who would otherwise be forced to stay home of course. this does mean that exams will not take place as planned in May and June. though we will make sure that pupils get the qualifications. they need and deserve for their academic career. now I know that, these steps will not be easy for parents or for teachers and for many parents. this will be frustrating and it will make it harder for them to go out to work and, of course that's one of the reasons that we haven't wanted to go ahead and that's why we're now working on further measures to ensure that. we support not just businesses, but also individuals and their families to keep our economy going as Ritchie soon. act the Chancellor outlined yesterday, we believe the steps we've already taken together with those. I'm allowed seen today are already the spread of the disease but we will not hesitate to go further and faster in the days and weeks ahead and we will do whatever it takes so that we beat it together.
