PRIME Minister Boris Johnson yesterday confirmed that schools across the country will not reopen until at least March 8. The statement came in Prime Minister s Questions in the House of Commons as Mr Johnson attempted deflect MPs anger at the rising number of deaths during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was reported this week the number of deaths have passed 100,000 and many MPs are demanding a route map out of lockdown during coming weeks. Mr Johnson delivered the grim news for millions of children and parents saying he realised how frustrated they will be. We will not persist for a day longer than necessary but nor will we relax too soon. The overall picture should become clearer by mid-February. Reopening schools will be our first priority.
