The government is instructing everyone to ‘stay at home,’ and that all schools will close under the new restrictions. As expected, Lockdown 3 in the UK sparked funny memes and jokes on social media. ‘Not again,’ is the most common reactions. With schools, colleges and some universities to move to remote learning, students flood Twitter with hilarious reactions you cannot miss.
