Boris Johnson will chair an emergency COBRA meeting on coronavirus today, where he is expected to escalate the country’s response to coronavirus. The Government is poised to move to the “delay phase”, which includes social distancing measures such as school closures, cancelling public events and urging employees to work from home where possible. It comes as teachers have been told to prepare “home-learning packs” for students, amid fears schools could be closed for more than two months.
