Thousands of air purification units are now in place in classrooms in the province.
Education Minister, Tom Osbourne provided the update this week.
The units, the units simply plug into existing outlet, are also being used in other areas of schools beyond school classrooms.
The province purchased some 5,500 units at a cost of close to 8 million dollars in preparation for the new school year.
The units have been welcomed by staff according to Osbourne.
