The PM says he believes the first stage of “going further” will be to the phased reopening of shops and to get primary pupils back into schools.

He says school returns will be done in stages, beginning with reception, Year 1 and Year 6.

But he warns the earliest this could happen is 1 June, after half-term.

He adds: “Our ambition is that secondary pupils facing exams next year will get at least some time with their teachers before the holidays.

“And we will shortly be setting out detailed guidance on how to make it work in schools and shops and on transport.”
