From 15 September to 14 October, the Ministry of Health is introducing temporary anti-epidemic measures in nurseries and kindergartens, schools and special education support centres.
It is recommended that, wherever possible, nurseries and kindergartens should work with children in the same group with the same staff and that schools should have a different beginning of classes and switch to a two-shift timetable
It is also recommended that physical distance be maintained between pupils from different classes and that they go out at different times between classes. 
"There is a need to conduct enhanced morning screening to prevent students with clinical symptoms of Covid-19 as well as other acute communicable diseases," the ministry order reads.
