planning to scrap blazers and ties to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in classrooms. With studies finding the virus can live on surfaces like clothing or towels for up to 72 hours, schools want pupils wearing fresh clothes each day, but say it's unrealistic for parents to wash items such as blazers so frequently.Added to this is the pressure to keep costs down for families and a bill is currently passing through Parliament calling for further guidance for schools on enforcing branded items, which parents often struggle to afford.But while some mums and dads have welcomed the move - and criticised the 'scandalous' prices of some branded products - others say it will make no difference to the potential coronavirus risk, as not all.
