Parents in British Columbia will be given the choice of allowing their children to return to class on a part-time basis in June.
The government says its goal is for the return of full-time classes in September, if it is safe.
Under the part-time plan, the number of students allowed in schools will be reduced.
For kindergarten to Grade 5, most students will go to school half time, such as alternating days, while grades 6 to 12 will go to school about one day a week.
The province says there are already about 5,000 students in classrooms, including children of essential workers and those needing extra support.
