How might social distancing work when school starts? How will students be able to keep their masks on over an entire school day? What happens if there's an outbreak? How can parents support their child's mental health while they face anxiety over COVID19? We'll ask all these questions and more as CBC Asks takes a look at what parents, students and educators can do to stay safe and maintain good mental health when school starts.
