UK PM Johnson: If we possibly can, we will be setting out target dates for earliest reopening

Comments by UK prime minister, Boris Johnson

• No decisions have been taken on exact date to reopen schools
• Hoping to do so by 8 March
• We will try to set out a roadmap out of lockdown

Johnson is managing expectations a little before he gets into more detail on plans for the UK to exit lockdown next week. Nothing out of the ordinary so far but there is a degree of optimism going into next week's announcement.
