The Island's Education Minister has admitted Island schools are close to capacity.
Dr Alex Allinson MHK has stated attendances have been more than double than what they were during the last lockdown.
Today, 674 pupils attended primary schools, and 92 at secondary schools.
This compares to 259 at primaries and 40 at secondaries during the previous circuit-break.
The minister is once again urging parents and carers to think seriously about whether their children need to go into schools.
