The education minister says guaranteeing the safety of staff and pupils in the Island's schools is of 'paramount' importance.
In giving the latest updates about COVID-19 to Manx Radio, Dr Alex Allinson explained his department's other priority is "maintaining services, particularly going into an exam season."
He says there are specific contingency plans in place for teachers who are considered in 'high-risk' categories:
