Prime Minister Kaja Kallas explained that her government has followed the scientific advisory council's recommendations when deciding to ease the restrictions. The number of new coronavirus cases in Estonia has dropped sharply over the past month and the R number is now hovering between 0.8-0.85, meaning the infection rate is not rising. Nevertheless, the PM called on Estonians not to drop their guard.
“I remind everyone that we must remain careful even when the weather warms up. Especially as previous experience has shown that after the school holidays, the infection curve goes upwards. We are monitoring the situation closely,“ said Kallas, quoted by the government press office.
Minister of Education Liina Kersna was quoted by ERR as saying that classes 1-4 will be returning to in-school education a week later than the end of school holidays so as to act as a buffer to prevent new outbreaks. She added that schoolchildren will be encouraged to learn and play outside as much as possible.
More than 60 percent of teachers have been vaccinated in 10 Estonian counties, with Harju (49 percent) and Ida-Viru (30 percent) lagging behind. The scientific advisory council has recommended rapid testing for all unvaccinated teachers.
