The schools in Ukraine in the new academic year will work in line with the adaptive quarantine rules, Health Minister of Ukraine Maksym Stepanov has said.
“I should recall that the schools will not work only in the cities or districts, where the red epidemiological hazard level would be introduced,” he told a Saturday briefing.
“In all other [residential locations] marked with green, yellow and orange, respectively, they will work as usual with strict observation of the rules approved for the school education process. They include wearing masks and some other restrictions introduced by the rules. I would like to recall once again that we must respect all of these rules for the sake of our children’s health,” the minister said.
