Coronavirus: Saturday update as teachers and ministers told to 'stop squabbling' - BBC News

Here are five things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak this Saturday morning. We'll have another update on Sunday.

Ms Longfield's intervention comes amid criticism of the government's plan to begin opening primary schools in England for some pupils from 1 June.

2. 'Think twice' before heading to beauty spots
