London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for all schools in the London area to close early for the Christmas holidays and reopen later in January as positive tests for the CCP virus continue to rise in the capital.

Khan wrote a letter to the Prime Minister Boris Johnson asking him to consider closing secondary schools and colleges across the city after a rise in positive test results in children aged between 10 and 19.
