The UK could see tighter lockdowns, as Covid-19 cases continue to rise. Boris Johnson has said that the health system is struggling under the strain. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Sunday that tougher lockdown restrictions were probably on the way as Covid-19 cases keep rising, but that schools were safe places and children should continue to attend where permitted.

"There is no doubt in my mind that schools are safe, and that education is a priority," he said.
