Education and COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins is announcing the Government's plan for getting students in alert level 3 back to school.
Hipkins confirmed last month that year 11-13 students in alert level 3 could return to school from October 26, but students in the years below had to continue learning from home.
A contributing factor was that younger students are not yet eligible to be vaccinated. The Pfizer vaccine is currently only available for New Zealanders aged 12 and above.
Hipkins will also provide an update on the COVID-19 Delta outbreak.
