(Bloomberg) -- U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said schools will close from Friday, increasing restrictions on the British population as the country grapples with a spiraling coronavirus crisis.
Johnson's announcement covers English schools, after administrators in Scotland and Wales earlier told schools in those regions to prepare to close from Friday.
“After schools shut their gates on Friday afternoon, they will remain closed for most pupils, the vast majority of pupils, until further notice,” Johnson said.
