As the coronavirus pandemic continues, UK schools, colleges and nurseries are set to close from today.

Some children will be forced to stay at home, whereas the kids of ‘key workers’ in response to the Covid-19 outbreak have been told they will still be able to access education provision.

As this means many children will be have to be home-schooled, many teachers have been offering to help out with tutoring on social media. But another person who has stepped in to help might be more unexpected… The Body Coach, aka Joe Wicks, who has offered PE lessons to those who have to stay home.
