Primary schools are a complicated one anyway. Younger children are less at risk if they get Covid, but up until really the exact same age range (about 9) trying to get them to social distance would be like herding cats. Older primary school kids (10 - 12 year olds) will be easier to get to stick to distancing rules, but are otherwise (slightly) more likely to get ill if they do come into contact with someone who has it.

But yeah, the idea of primary school teachers trying to get 5 and 6 year olds to stay ANY distance apart in somewhat hilarious. Cue Benny Hill soundtrack, etc.
