England could allow primary schools to reopen as soon as June 1 under plans being discussed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Reuters reported while quoting the Telegraph newspaper.

Johnson is expected to unveil the government's “roadmap” out of the coronavirus lockdown in an address to the nation next Sunday, the newspaper said.

The Sunday Times said that the government will only tweak the lockdown this week, encouraging building sites to reopen, relaxing rules on outdoor activities and urging people to cover their faces on public transport.
