Boris Johnson today confirmed school 'bubbles' will be scrapped - but the change is unlikely to be made until the start of the next academic year in September.
Mr Johnson said the Government's intention is to 'remove bubbles and contact isolation for pupils' amid mounting fears over the number of children being forced to stay at home.
The Prime Minister said Gavin Williamson, the Education Secretary, will unveil the Government's proposals for protecting pupils tomorrow.
However, the shift away from 'bubbles' is not expected to be immediate after Mr Johnson said last week that the summer holidays could act as a 'natural firebreak'.
Tory MPs have demanded the Government ditch 'bubbles' as soon as possible even if that means it is 'just for the last few days of term'.
