Epidemiologists explained that children in the age group of 10-12 show a steep increase in Covid-19 incidence, and Covid-19 outbreaks with a high number of pupils have been recorded in education institutions. Therefore, education institutions are still at high Covid-19 risks.
Teachers will be required to wear masks in classrooms and outside classrooms.
Practical training in adult education, higher education institutions and vocational schools, were remote learning is not possible, it will have to be organized in groups of no more than ten people and taking all the necessary precautionary measures, including physical distancing.
Restrictions will be increased also on sports clubs, with only individual workouts in the presence of one coach allowed at indoor facilities. The sports clubs will be required to provide at least 15 square meters of floor space per person and the number of people at a sports facility will not be allowed to exceed 20% of its capacity.
