ALTRINCHAM, ENGLAND - APRIL 08: A classroom lays dormant at Oldfield Brow Primary School during the coronavirus lockdown on April 08, 2020 in Altrincham, England. The government announced the closure of UK schools from March 20 except for the children of key workers, such as NHS staff, and vulnerable pupils, such as those looked after by local authorities. The prime minister has said schools will remain closed "until further notice," and many speculate they may not reopen until next term. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
