Some kind of delay surely - hopefully just secondary

Matt Hancock said the Government wanted to “protect education as much as possible”, but acknowelged that the new, more infectious strain of Covid-19 was harder to contain.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Todays programme that the Education Secretary Gavin Williamson would be making a statement later on Wednesday. Asked whether any further delay to schools reopening would be announced, Mr Hancock: “I don’t want to steal his thunder.”
