The UK government is sticking to its original plan for students in England to start returning to school next week, although the plan is under review, a senior cabinet minister said on Monday.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been determined to keep children in school since September, after schools reopened from a shutdown that had begun on March 20. But, after a more infectious variant of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus was identified in England, Johnson refused to rule out a second school closure.
