Most pupils attend school in person without having to take Covid-19 tests, the Ministry of Education says.

533,000 students have been in class since the beginning of the week, 53,000 more compared to seven days earlier. 77,000 of them have a green certificate; 30,000 have obtained a certificate during the past three weeks. The green certificate is issued as proof of vaccination, recovery, antibodies or a negative laboratory test result.

According to data of the Ministry of Health, a mere 9.72% of secondary school students are fully vaccinated, and according to Ministry of Education data, 84,000 pupils go to school without having to be tested. 6,200 of them attend in-person classes without a certificate and without being tested for the virus because they are from municipalities with a low coronavirus incidence rate.
