Lessons will start on Monday or Tuesday in 4 private schools: Vilnius Jesuit Gymnasium, “Diemedis” children’s art studio, Northern Lyceum, Queen Martha’s School and 2 municipal schools: St. Christopher Progymnasium and Šeškinė Primary School. In preparation for the opening of these schools, 1,079 cumulative items were examined.

Around 1,000 students are expected to return to these schools, so a total of 10 schools will be opened in Vilnius per month for contact education, monitoring the COVID-19 situation through regular tests. Just last week, the Vilnius Public Health Office Vilnius Healthier examined the farms of 1,528 students and school staff. Students whose cumulative results from the family farm were negative can immediately study by contact.

If at least one test in the group is positive, the whole family is invited to perform a PCR test, and if the test confirms that at least one of the family members is COVID-19, the isolation rules approved by the Ministry of Health apply to the whole family. After 4-7 days, elementary school children who have returned to schools are re-evaluated cumulatively, only this time at the school itself. During the retest, the families of the students’ families are no longer tested, the tests are conducted only for children who attend school, teachers and school personnel who have contact with them. On February 22, Vilnius was the first in the country to open a school for contact education, having previously been tasked with investigating the farms of primary and pedagogical families using the pilot cumulative method.
