The education secretary has reiterated the advice for education settings.
Gavin Williamson said, ‘All schools will be closed except for vulnerable children and those of critical workers. If your work is not critical in the response to Coronavirus then please keep your child at home. This will help to halt the spread of the virus, protect the NHS and save lives.
‘We will be closely monitoring what is happening in schools and will ensure they get the support they need in the weeks and months ahead.’
On Twitter nursery owner Molly Snow @MollyCraven, said, ‘We're open to three children. Children don't quite know what to do with themselves as there's normally 45-50 children in. We've made bird feeders this morning and enjoyed some sunshine. Not sure how long we can keep open for just three though.’
