“We are preparing to open schools traditionally as a whole. But if the epidemiological situation in a particular municipality does not allow this, then the health of children, teachers, parents will be at the forefront, ”he said.

According to him, at present "there are no serious concerns."

Kravtsov added that the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health have agreed that a medical worker will be present at each school from September 1 to September 14.

“All the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor will be taken into account in order to maximize the safety of children and teachers,” the minister said.

Earlier, Kravtsov said that most Russian regions are ready for the start of the academic year in the traditional format.
