Newspaper headlines: 'One million pupils stay home' as schools open and rules ease

The easing of lockdown restrictions in England and the return of some children return to primary school feature in Monday's papers.

The Guardian and the Daily Mirror report on a survey by primary school leaders that suggests one million children in England - half of those able to return today - are likely to stay at home.

The Guardian says many parents, councils and teachers remain sceptical of the government's assurances over their safety.

The Telegraph's lead highlights a call by the Children's Commissioner for England, Anne Longfield - in an article elsewhere in the paper - for ministers to set up summer camps for the most vulnerable students during July and August to help them catch up.

For its main story, the Times reports that the aviation industry body, the International Air Transport Association, has urged ministers to reconsider their plans to quarantine passengers arriving in the UK - saying it's the equivalent of hanging up a "Britain is closed" sign.

According to the Telegraph, more than 20 Tory MPs - including at least seven former ministers - are demanding a rethink of the plans.

One of them - Huw Merriman, the chairman of the Transport Select Committee - is quoted as saying he would prefer different measures such as "air bridges" with low-risk countries, compulsory personal protective equipment and temperature testing at airports.

The Daily Mail has Cancer Research UK figures showing that 2.1 million patients have missed out on screening tests for breast, cervical and bowel cancer because of the pandemic.

It says another 290,000 are waiting for urgent referrals to confirm or rule out tumours. At least 21,600 patients have had surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy postponed in the past nine weeks, it adds.

The Financial Times says banks are warning that up to half of the £18.5bn of "bounce back" coronavirus loans are unlikely to be repaid as the prospect of a quick economic recovery fades.

It says they are lobbying the Chancellor to prepare for the collapse of hundreds of thousands of small businesses.

One executive tells the paper that about a quarter of the loans would not have been made under normal lending practices. The loans are capped at £50,000 with a term of up to six years and come with a 100% government guarantee.

The Sun says people are expected to spend an extra £1bn this week as more are allowed outdoors and the warm weather continues.

According to the paper, supermarkets have ordered a record 60 million sausages, 20 million burgers and 126 million beers. One supermarket executive tells the paper: "It will be the busiest-ever week for sales of BBQ food."

Meanwhile, the Queen is widely pictured making her first outdoor appearance since the lockdown began - riding a fell pony in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The Daily Express says she looked in her element as she took part in her favourite exercise and the Times says the photographs will be seen as a morale-boosting signal that life is beginning to return to normal.
