Parents should send their children to primary school on Monday as long as they are open in their area, the prime minister has said.
Boris Johnson said there was "no doubt in my mind that schools are safe".
He described school closures in London and the South East of England as "exceptional" due a fast-spreading new variant of Covid-19.
He told the BBC's Andrew Marr the risk to children was "very, very low" and the benefit of education was "so huge".
Unions have called for remote learning to be introduced across all primary schools after coronavirus cases surged.
