“The disinfection works are being implemented at schools and kindergartens”, said Jalal Isayev, chief infectiologist of the Health Ministry, APA reports.

“The sick children shouldn’t be taken to school and kindergarten. Currently, the issue of closing schools is not on agenda. The coronavirus hasn’t yet spread so broadly to necessitate the adoption of such a decision. If the scale of spreading of the coronavirus expands, then the closing of schools and universities can become necessary”, J. Isayev noted.
