Ukrainian Deputy Health Minister and Chief Medical Officer Viktor Liashko has said schools in the red quarantine zone will operate online from September 1.
"I think if we all comply with the anti-epidemic rules specified in our recommendations, this will allow us to effectively and in a timely manner prevent the spread of coronavirus, start the academic year, and finish it the way we expect, i.e. in the usual offline form," he said during the August 2020 conference titled "Education in a pandemic: how to organize the academic year 2020-2021," an UNIAN correspondent reports.
Online training will be introduced pending the red-zone period.
However, according to Liashko, schools in the red zone will operate differently.
