The rate of virus infection at schools remains low

Following spring holidays, the infection rate of students, teachers and school administration at schools remains low, even though the format of distance learning has been reduced across the country.

In particular, at the request of parents, and also due to the confirmation of the virus in some cases, there are a total of 14 schools and 64 separate classes across the country who conduct learning remotely.

Additionally, the number of students who chose to study online decreased by 2% last week - after the spring break, students chose to study in classrooms.

Over the past week, from March 15 to March 20, monitoring and mandatory testing have confirmed the virus in 0.1% of teachers and faculty members, and in 0.01% of students across the country - a figure identical to the period before the holidays.

There are still 69 teachers who teach remotely across the country. In case there is an increase in virus detection, point restrictions will still be applied to schools and, as a rule, they will act in accordance with the protocol of the Ministry of Health.
