this sounds like complete rubbish. If the virus doesn't transmit well through the air, how are so many becoming infected, why did we go in to lock down across the world, and why did the numbers infected reduce on lock down. Honestly, it's complete bollocks

The two-metre social distancing rule is being reviewed by the Government in the hope that relaxing the restriction could allow more businesses and schools to reopen, The Daily Telegraph understands.

Ministers have asked the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) to look again at whether people need to stay so far apart, amid growing evidence that coronavirus does not transmit well in the air.



It is believed that the Government is considering reopening schools before the summer holidays – probably in June – so that there will be a natural point when they could be closed again if infections start to rise, without disrupting parents for a second time.

Unions met ministers on Friday and discussed plans for schools to be given three weeks’ notice to reopen, adding to speculation that pupils may start to return after the May half-term holiday.

It is also expected that schools will be opened in phases, such as primaries first and then secondaries, to monitor how the different age groups are affecting the R-rate, and scrapping the two-metre rule would make classes easier to manage



The World Health Organisation only recommends staying one metre apart, and following the less rigid approach would allow Britons to travel and work more freely when restrictions are eventually lifted.





There is also unhappiness that Britain’s social distancing rules are more stringent than countries such as France, Italy and Sweden.

So some parents are refusing to send kids back without a vaccine, their was one on my local news who was furloughed so if she refuses to send her kids to school she wont have a job and if she dont have a job she wont be entitled to benefits because she effectively quit her job

That rule is so stupid, even at the best of times. Crappy employers can make working conditions unpalatable, carry out constructive dismissal.

Wasnt it brought in because alot of people would quit the job straight away to stay on benefits

I mean when they say schools will open it wont be full on, it will be phased, part time, shorter days, partial class size

Surprised your school is shut Oliver, I guess they don't have any parents who are key workers, the special needs school in my area is open with staff going in on a rota basis, they only have 4 kids and they are different class rooms

Honestly, until the stats begin to change, the current situation should remain in place, it'll only cause another peak and another lockdown if we rush out of this one too quickly.

That's what all the knee quakers think, look at London statistics from beginning to end and top to bottom...herd immunity was infact the way to go if you look at it from those statistics.

Stupid idea. Primary schools should be amongst the last things to open.

The kids barely get the symptoms, and will all go back to their 200 different families each day.
