So the lesson will develop, in classical but also online. According to Manastirliu, this practice will begin by December 1st.

“Just as we have repeated your and child health is first. So far, children are not estimated to be high infection broadcasters. School protocols have been implemented, but to minimize risks where other respiratory infections are present, after the expert committee's recommendation we have decided to recommend the education ministry since December 1st to apply alternative, classical, physical and online learning scenarios. Based on the specifics of the local epidemic situation”, Manastirliu said.
