The papers tomorrow will say Boris will ban gatherings of 500 + and schools will have two weeks extra at Easter.

How do you know this?

MerryInthechelseahotel · 13/03/2020 22:27

Before or after the Easter holidays?

I do wish people would back this up with a link or some factual evidence rather than just writing it and causing speculation.

Just looked at his Twitter feed - which one says about schools closing?

Treescaper · 13/03/2020 22:39

I just looked, can’t see anything about schools? Have you got a link?

Collision · 13/03/2020 22:39

Yes
Where’s the article about schools closing?

LambriniSocialist · 13/03/2020 22:40

Came on to say I see anything on his twitter about schools closing either?

I've also looked and there is nothing. I'm really sick of people posting "information" without linking to it. It's creating more panic and uncertainty which isn't helping.

Telegraph says they're discussing schools shutting for a week either side of Easter.

Nothing about schools yet but it is now on the news that large public gatherings are being banned

ShoppingBasket · 13/03/2020 22:48

It'll happen now that Cheltenham is over, absolute disgrace this went ahead. Every other sport was able to postpone but not horse racing.

Two key phrases: Mass gatherings could be banned in UK next week and government source...i.e just speculation and rumours

fedup21 · 13/03/2020 23:08

@Helenj1977

Schools closing-where does it actually say that?
