Teachers should wear masks, including during classes, the Ministry of Education has recommended. Masks for teachers are not mandatory when keeping a distance of at least 1.5 meters from students. The ministry also recommended testing all staff at schools once a week using state-paid Covid-19 tests.

1.03% of teachers and 1.01% of students are already in quarantine. Data show that the number of quarantined teachers compared to the beginning of the school year as of September 17 has doubled. 482 groups in kindergartens and school classes are under quarantine. Two kindergartens and one school work fully online.
