The aim of keeping them open was as a bare minimum child care provision to save grandparents from being drawn into babysitting social contact, to prevent emergency services staff having to arrange childcare, and because some kids will neither eat nor wash effectively if they’re not in school.

I wonder what’s changed.
Its a struggle to keep up with how rapidly the situation is changing as its just a matter of time before England's schools are closed as well.

Lockdown is probably just around the corner given this has already happened in some EU countries.

This is going to require a monumental effort and great sacrifice from us all in the UK for a considerable time period.
