LONDON—The reopening of England’s schools to all pupils on March 8 will mark the first step toward normality and is only possible because of public efforts to bring COVID-19 infection rates down, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.
Johnson announced a roadmap for lifting lockdown measures in which schools open first, followed in later stages by the gradual easing of restrictions on “mixing” with other people, and the reopening of “non-essential” shops and other venues.
