Coronavirus lockdown: Can children from separated families move between homes?
After the government announced a lockdown yesterday, many people had questions about what it meant for certain groups - including separated families.
Speaking on BBC this morning, Michael Gove clarified that if children are under 18 they can move between households.
Earlier this morning, he had said they could not and that they should stay at the home they are currently in.
He has since clarified that whilst movement must be limited and kept to a minumum, children can stay with both parents.
