If every day brings new measures to tackle coronavirus, it seems every announcement raises fresh questions about their practicalities. With GSCEs and A-Levels being cancelled following the order that schools close from tomorrow, universities are demanding clarity from ministers. They say pupils should not miss out on university this year. The government says it will ensure children receive qualifications but is yet to specify how.
How much do we know? Our education reporters run through what happens next for parents and pupils, including the question of some schools staying open for children of key workers. We also hear how charities are teaming up with school kitchens to feed children who usually get free school dinners, or deliver to families in self-isolation.
Meanwhile, despite Prime Minister Boris Johnson's insistence the UK has "stockpiles" of protective equipment, such as face masks, some NHS workers say they have none. Dr Samantha Batt-Rawden, from lobby group the Doctors' Association, worries "that's increasing their likelihood of contracting the virus and then ultimately spreading it to patients".
With the virus spreading faster in London than elsewhere in the UK, 40 Tube stations will shut. And with the impact on everyday life increasing, we hear from three grandmothers who plan to move in together to self-isolate. "We'll have a supply of wine in," Dotty Robinson reassures BBC Breakfast. And we explore how the authorities might "nudge" us to wash our hands, stop touching our faces or not panic-buy.

China reached a milestone on Thursday, when it reported no new domestic cases for the first time since the outbreak began. However, it confirmed 34 new cases among people recently returned to China. And, like fellow Asian nations, it is braced for a second wave of the virus. Singapore reported 47 new cases, of which 33 were imported. Thirty were returned Singapore residents. There, "contact tracers" are being used to track down potential positive cases. We look at whether there are lessons for the rest of the world.
Closer to home, the European Central Bank announced an emergency €750bn (£700bn) package to ease the impact of the pandemic, after Italy recorded an additional 475 virus-related deaths in one day. And in the US, President Donald Trump is reviving a Korean War-era measure empowering him to direct civilian businesses to help meet orders for products necessary for national security .

"School's out... exams off." The Metro's front-page headline sums up the main story for most of Thursday's papers - that UK schools are to close indefinitely from Friday, with A-levels, GCSEs and SATs cancelled. Pupils have been left "in limbo" as the prime minister indicated grades would be awarded through an alternative system, but failed to set out details, says the Times. The i points out that teachers will still look after children of "key workers" and vulnerable pupils at school, while, grandparents have been warned not to take on any childcare duties. But parents and teachers were "confused" and "left in the dark" over the details, says the Daily Mirror.

From elsewhere

If you're finding the news hard to take, you might be tempted to binge-watch some telly. BBC Ideas examines why we're compelled to slump in front of the TV for hours on end - and why it might be good for us. We have a video featuring model railway fanatic Laurie Calvert, who began reimagining locomotives to take his mind of the stresses of everyday life and ended up having his steampunk designs patented by manufacturer Hornby. Plus broadcaster Anneka Rice offers an honest - and hilarious - account of becoming so famous she was featured at the entrance to Madame Tussauds... then suffering the ignominy of her waxwork being removed, melted down and its head left in Wookey Hole caves in Somerset.
