"The anti-epidemic commission has made a decision to transfer technical schools and colleges of the Sverdlovsk region to study using distance technologies for two weeks, synchronously with school holidays," TASS reports.

According to epidemiologists, such a decision will allow students and teachers to “break the chain of social contacts” and maintain control over the incidence of coronavirus and other acute respiratory viral infections.

Earlier, the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Health of the Sverdlovsk Region Elena Chadova, in an interview with URA.RU, commented on the situation with COVID-19.
