Kids heading back to school in September will not be required to wear masks.
The Ministry of Education says masks will remain optional for students this fall.
A spokesperson for Education Minister Stephen Lecce says he's following the advice of the province's Chief Medical Officer of Health.
Schools will continue to offer rapid tests and masks upon request.
