Manitoba schools will be delaying their return to school after the winter break to January 10th from the 6th.
The delay is intended to allow health officials to assess the Omicron Situation, and get rapid tests out to more schools across the province.
Teachers will be returning to school on January 6th as planned to take part in professional learning and preparation.
Many child-care centers will be remaining open for kids under 12 to ensure families still have access to them.
