The Omicron wave is spreading rapidly, we are following the process closely, but for now, there is no alarm situation in which we will change our measures or apply for new measures in our schools. We need to pay attention to vaccination rates. In our schools, we follow the rules about mask, distance and hygiene much more than before.
