Youngsters should be able to play with their friends this summer to aid their mental health, child psychologists have said.
PlayFirstUK, a group of experts in child development, have written to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson calling for plans to reopen schools and ease lockdown restrictions to prioritise the social and emotional wellbeing of pupils.
The group, which includes 15 child psychologists and education specialists led by Professor Helen Dodd from the University of Reading, said children in England should be exempt from the rule of two as soon as it is safe to do so.

Jen and her team at Shirt Shop will be dearly missed. She is a wonderful person, business owner and friend to many. We will miss her smiling face in the mall, and we wish them nothing but the best in their new location! We are happy for them to see their business grow in size and scale of their offerings, Adams said in an email to The Forum.
