Coronavirus in England: Latest updates - BBC News
Bringing you the latest news from across England about the coronavirus pandemic.
The key evidence on the safety and impact of reopening schools has been published by the government's scientific advisory group, Sage.

Sources involved said the risk of coronavirus to pupils going back to the classroom was "very, very small, but it is not zero".

Teachers were not at above-average risk compared with other occupations, it said.

However, there is a theme of uncertainty throughout the advice to government.

The documents say they "cannot be clear" on the extent schools could be reopened without leading to cases taking off in the UK again.

And while it is clear-cut that children are far less likely to be severely ill, there is contradictory evidence on how likely they are to be infected or to spread the virus.

One study, published this morning and considered by Sage, showed children were 56% less likely to be infected than an adult if they were in contact with an infected individual.
