As for those schools where doctors have not been trained, the testing process will continue to be organized by NCDC.

At this time, 73.6% of teachers and school administration staff are vaccinated.

To prevent the virus spread, schools are fully provided with appropriate disinfectant solutions, as well as facemasks, thermoscreening devices and disinfection barriers.
