Schools in the UK will be closed as the country deals with the unprecedented task of stemming the spread of coronavirus.
Earlier in the afternoon, the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales announced their schools would be closing due to coronavirus.
Sources from Stormont then revealed that schools would be closed in Northern Ireland to pupils immediately, and to the teachers by Friday.
Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said that all schools will be closed from Friday in a statement in the Commons.
Children of "key workers" and the most vulnerable will be allowed to attend those schools.
Prime Minister Mr Johnson also confirmed schools would be closing, and said nurseries and creches will be expected to do the same.
However, he urged parents not to leave children in the care of grandparents or older relatives who are at higher risk of becoming seriously ill with coronavirus.
