Lithuanians dive into the “black” COVID-19 zone warn: inevitable changes await students already in October
“Of course, everyone who wants to have contact education, but I have no doubt that there will be cases of hybrid training in October,” M. Sinkevičius says on Delfi TV.
According to him, cases of coronavirus are recorded in municipal educational institutions in all countries, and in some cases the situation is particularly poor.
“In terms of Kai [savivaldybėse] there are drastic cases when almost the whole school has to go through the process of self-isolation, ”says M. Sinkevičius.
According to him, even in those municipalities that lead in terms of vaccinated population, there are larger outbreaks of viruses.
“In the same Akmenė, which is in the top ten in terms of the number of vaccinated population (80% of those vaccinated), one gymnasium dropped out of the organization of education. Similar things are repeated in each municipality, perhaps on a smaller scale. Jeronimas Rally Gymnasium in Jonava also has another class in self-isolation. The centenary of the school was commemorated, safely, with masks – who is sick appeared, ”said the mayor of Jonava district.
He admits that hybrid learning is not full-fledged, but, according to M. Sinkevičius, such a scenario becomes inevitable.
“It seems that it can inevitably happen that we still have that hybrid teaching model where part of the [mokinių] have to learn from home, part in the classroom. I am also talking about the Ministry of Education and Science that the school will have equipment for hybrid teaching, ”said M. Sinkevičius.
“That hybrid training, of course, often brings complications to our teachers – then you have to work with both the screen and the classroom training, which is so inconvenient, because you can show more information to the child who is in contact, answer his decisions, be responsive. . , see how he understands or not, ”he says in the show“ Delfi Day ”.
On Tuesday, 1847 new cases of coronavirus were detected in Lithuania, 14 people died from these diseases.
Last week, Lithuania entered the blog, the “black”, color zone of the pandemic.
We recall that the Government has approved the requirement to wear masks from the closing room on Friday, and it is also recommended to supply public and private legal personal work to be organized remotely.
The Cabinet of Ministers approved these amendments to the resolution on the state-level emergency.
Masks – and at work
Masks from October 1, the bus mandatory mandatory space when providing or receiving services, shopping, events, etc., regardless of whether the activity is carried out with or without the possibility of a passport.
“First of all, establishing that the decisions of the operations manager, including the wearing of face masks in closed premises, would be binding regardless of whether the activities are carried out with or without a passport and without a recommendation,” said Minister of Health Arūnas Dulkys during the Government meeting .
He noted that the previous exceptions remain – masks are not mandatory for the disabled, if they cannot wear them due to their health condition, provide services they want to get with the mask, as well as eating in a catering establishment, as well as in cinemas.
Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė later confirmed that masks will be mandatory at work “when people work in physical contact indoors”.
“In work teams, masks will be mandatory when people work in physical contact indoors,” the prime minister wants.
She added that the recommendation works remotely “is very insistent and when there is a possibility to organize work remotely, we would recommend this method”.
Beginners do not need masks
The order in schools does not change – masks remain mandatory for older students, and primary school children do not need to wear them.
According to the prime minister, the decision on masks for primates, if decided to make them mandatory, would be decided by the head of the operation, but it would be taken in discussion with epidemiologists and the educational community.
“Masks are mandatory in schools, they are not mandatory only for primary school children, we have agreed on primary school so that the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports and the Ministry of Health will still contact epidemiologists and the educational community about this. , this is the decision of the operations manager, ”the prime minister said.
If the mandatory masks are returned, the responsibility for not wearing them will lie with the person himself.
“Responsibility for non-compliance with the mask requirement would lie with customers and service users. We also recommend that both public and private legal entities organize work remotely. These changes would take effect on Friday, “the Minister introduced the amendments.
Tightening – due to the rapid spread of the delta
The tightening was confirmed due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus delta strain and the unfavorable epidemiological situation in Lithuania.
“Currently, 67.7 percent of the population in Lithuania has immunity from COVID-19 (vaccinated or relapsed), but the number of immunized people is still low for the spread of the virus,” the amendment said.
For those who have the opportunity to wear a passport, wearing masks is recommended.
