According to Amiran Gamkrelidze, head of the National Center for Disease Control, education in schools and universities is expected to start remotely.
 
He said the issue is being considered by the Ministry of Education, although the NCDC recommends that until the positivity rate falls below 4% (today it is 9.43%) and 80% of school staff are vaccinated, the school cannot be considered safe.
 
"Therefore, it is desirable for teachers to be vaccinated, administrative staff, to be vaccinated and the general epidemiological situation in the country to be improved. In this case, the issue of resuming studies in physical spaces will be reviewed. We will probably have meetings with the Ministry of Education on many issues.
 
I personally have the same opinion about universities. Several criteria must be met for resuming studies in the physical space - both professors and students (150,000 students) must be vaccinated. Delta strain is easily transmitted among young people, so it is desirable that all universities and schools are safe to resume studies." Said Amiran Gamkrelidze.
