Chief minister aims for 22 June return
Government is aiming for a full reopening of schools by next week (22 June), following the scrapping of social distancing on the Island.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle made the announcement at the latest media conference.
It's as a number of key changes are due to come in this week, including the return of all leisure activities - and the reopening of pubs, clubs and bars from Thursday (18 June).
There have been no new cases of Covid-19 reported on the Island now for 26 consecutive days.
Mr Quayle says it's an important moment for Manx students:
