As it happened: Covid: Williamson pledges cash for pupils to catch up - BBC News
Data justifies "full return" of schools and colleges in England on 8 March, the education secretary says.
Tanzania's finance minister appeared emotional and sometimes coughed as he gave a news conference to address the state of his health.

Philip Mpango spoke about his condition on Tuesday after being discharged from a hospital in the capital Dodoma, after rumours he had died with Covid-19.

Without revealing his illness, the maskless minister said he was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago “while on an oxygen machine”, adding “my health condition was bad”.

“I thank God for his mercies and grace that I have been breathing normally for the last three days,” Mpango said, flanked by two medical staff, neither of whom were wearing a mask.

Tanzanian opposition leader Tunui Lissu questioned the wisdom of the minister's news conference.

"Has the intelligence of our leaders reached this level? Who allowed this patient to cough on people, instead of being in hospital for treatment or bed rest?" he wrote on Twitter .

Tanzania’s government has been criticised for downplaying the seriousness of the coronavirus and failing to publish data on Covid-19 infections.

Last week, the World Health Organization called on Tanzania "to take robust action both to safeguard their own people and protect populations" in other countries.
