Kindergartens will open the door more widely: they listed the reasons why the child will not be accepted

“The educational institution, together with the community and families, must discuss the main obligations and agree to fulfill them, because the health of children and employees is the most important thing,” says Minister A. Monkevičius.

Educators who are vulnerable (elderly, with health problems, or if family members have had or have had Covid-19) should not be invited to work in the group. They may continue to pursue distance learning. And your colleagues working in groups should no longer engage in distance learning.

In preschool and preschool educational institutions, where the educational process will be carried out in the form of a contact, education will be carried out according to the following conditions:

– maximum group isolation: staff working in a single group, children who attend the same group on a regular basis, group activities that are carried out in such a way as to avoid contact between children who attend different groups, both indoors as outdoors;

– ensure that there are no joint activities for various groups of children;

– ensure that there are hand disinfection facilities near the entrances to the facilities;

– evaluate the health status of all children admitted to the institution. Children who develop fever showing signs of acute upper respiratory tract infections (eg, runny nose, cough, shortness of breath) or other signs would not be admitted to kindergarten;

– Staff admitting children to the institution would wear protective equipment covering their nose and mouth. It is not necessary to use these tools during the educational process);

– guarantee that the conditions for the hygiene of the hands of workers and children are adequate (the sinks are supplied with hot and cold water, the sinks are supplied with liquid soap);

– ensure that toilets and other sanitary facilities used by various groups of children are disinfected each time a child uses them;

– ensure that educational facilities are ventilated before children arrive and at least twice a day.
