According to the report, the lessons will be held remotely only for older students. Contact classes will continue to be contacted for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students.

“We would like to inform you that from September 14, 2020 to September 25, 2020, the educational process of the Mažeikiai Merkel Račkauskas Gymnasium is being adjusted. Grades 1, 2, 3 study by contact (gym), 4th grade by distance learning. COVID-19 has been set for the 4th grade gym student, the NVSC has been informed, recommendations have been received and are being implemented. Please understand, focus and
seriousness, ”the report said.

There are already more than 300 people associated with educational institutions in isolation. Enrolled on Thursday in 21 educational institutions. Of these, 2 educational institutions are preschool. 25 cases: sick minors and 7 officials. A total of 318 people are isolated from educational institutions. According to NVSC,
no infection was registered in the educational institution itself; all cases of coronavirus were registered from family sources.

The NVSC recalls that a person who has been in contact with an infected person for less than 15 minutes for more than 15 minutes or a person who has had direct physical contact, such as shaking the hand of a person with a coronavirus infection, is considered who has been at high risk (close contact with COVID-19).

Exposure is also considered high-risk if a person has been in direct contact without protective measures with body fluids contaminated with COVID-19. In general, if the patient had a face, the tissues used in the COVID-19 kit were touched with bare hands, etc. Additionally, being in a confined space with a person with COVID-19 for more than 15 minutes is considered a high-risk contact.

This means that if, for example, a person has been infected in one of the meeting rooms without properly wearing personal protective equipment, their former colleagues are considered to be at high risk.

NVSC specialists remind that high-risk people should isolate themselves, monitor their health and, in case of symptoms, contact the Corona Hotline for a PCR test for coronavirus infection. Importantly, not all high-risk people are screened, depending on the spread of infection in a particular outbreak.

At that time, a person who had been in contact with an infected coronavirus for more than 15 minutes at a distance of more than 2 meters was considered to have had a low-risk exposure or, more generally, an accidental exposure. The same condition applies to both indoor contact and open spaces. Also, if, for example, a person rode a trolley bus with an infected person, wore protective gear, and got off the trolley after 10 minutes, such exposure will be considered low risk. Low-risk people are not isolated, they, like all Lithuanians, must monitor their health and follow COVID-19 prevention measures.
