enhanced disinfection measures and ventilation in kindergartens, schools, and universities;
monitoring the level of morbidity among children.
The ministry also reminds that:
vaccination is the most effective way to protect against severe forms of influenza;
in case of fever and the appearance of ARVI symptoms, it is necessary to stay at home and consult a doctor;
compliance with hygiene standards and wearing masks in public places helps reduce the risk of infection.
The epidemiological situation in the country continues to remain under control and stable. Monitoring of ARVI, influenza, and COVID-19 morbidity is ongoing.
