A primary school in the Canadian province of Quebec became the site of an outbreak after one child caught Covid-19, health officials say.
Out of a class of 11, nine children have since tested positive. The class was small because the school has been operating at half capacity.
Health officials confirm the school had taken preventative measures, such as handwashing reminders and marking spaces on the floor to encourage social distancing.
Elementary schools opened across Quebec outside the city of Montreal on 11 May, despite the province being Canada's biggest coronavirus hotspot, with 52,398 total cases and 4,935 deaths currently recorded.
Across the country, different provinces are reopening at different rates. On 1 June, British Columbia opened all schools on an optional, part-time basis.
Ontario, the site of Canada's second-largest hotspot, has closed schools for the remainder of the school year. But Premier Doug Ford announced the province would proceed to phase two of reopening the economy, despite a slight rise in the number of cases.
