Temperature measurement will be mandatory for all staff who come to work at educational institutions, and mandatory for children. At a temperature of 37.2 or higher, neither staff nor children will be allowed to work or study.

"Parents who bring children to school must use masks when they enter. Schools must have antiseptics and children must use them", — quotes Stepanov Liga.net.

Earlier, Stepanov said that the adaptive quarantine in Ukraine will be extended by another month with some changes to the rules.
