Schools across the Island are being able to re-open today to start a phased return.
Primary and secondary sites are opening for staff to make preparations, with children who've been attended hub schools during lockdown able to head back to their own school in two days time (June 17).
Meanwhile, next Monday (June 22) will see pupils in years two, six, 10 and 12 allowed to head back to classrooms full-time, although this will be on a voluntary basis until September.
Officials have previously said there is currently no fixed date for the return of all children but that this remains under constant review.
Elsewhere, nurseries, playgroups and childminders are being given the green light to increase the number of youngsters in their care.
Education Minister, Dr Alex Allinson MHK, has previously stated it'll be up to those individual groups to decide their own plans for bringing kids back in a staged process to ensure safety.
