Some Scottish school pupils could be partly taught from home indefinitely, the education secretary has acknowledged.
John Swinney said that physical distancing would continue to be needed in secondary schools, meaning fewer pupils in classrooms at one time.
Children in pre-school and P1-P3 are to return for face-to-face teaching from Monday, as well as some senior pupils.
Other age groups will continue to learn from home.
Following the announcement about early years pupils on Tuesday, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it was unlikely that any other pupils would return to school before 15 March at the earliest.
