As the Prime Minister said after the Government meeting, it is very important that from 2021. February 22 to March 31, 2021 schools with a mixed education would guarantee regular testing of teachers for COVID-19.
“So far, there is an opening through the cumulative method, which I think will have to be used in schools with many children. Other solutions may be available in smaller schools, but this would require agreeing that teachers who have not been vaccinated should be tested regularly. We really need to know that it is safe to work, so that the teachers know that it is safe to work, ”said I. Šimonytė after the government meeting on Wednesday.
“Perhaps with other requirements and other algorithms, those schools could start operating a little later. However, we will address this when we decide on expanding the possible activities of individual municipalities. Primary education is probably one of the most relevant issues that are being considered in this context, ”said the Prime Minister.
