According to him, the decision was made on the recommendation of sanitary doctors, taking into account the fall rise in colds and the increase in cases of coronavirus.

Gumerova noted that, depending on the epidemiological situation in different regions of Russia, appropriate decisions are made. 

“Somewhere in one class, several classes are switching to distance learning, if a teacher or one of the children suddenly got sick, someone was in contact.

Either a specific school or, say, a block of primary classes.

In my opinion, the decision to extend the autumn holidays, and this should be done simultaneously, so that each school has the same timeframe, reasonable enough, in demand by the time, ”the parliamentarian emphasized.

She recalled that many schools choose their own curricula.

“Some have trimesters, others have kept the traditional quarter.

Still, when someone is studying, someone is at home - this is not good ... This will allow the children to have a rest, and still somewhat reduce the risks ... Therefore, the extension of the holidays, and at the same time, so that this period coincides with all schools - this is just the measure that will help reduce the risks of disease and outbreaks of disease, including covid, "- said the senator.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced in his blog that Moscow schoolchildren would go on a two-week vacation in October.
