The Ministry of Education and Culture is implementing a "yellow" quarantine zone. How will the university work? (spoiler: WE ARE WORKING!)

inSep 23, 2021

The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine reports that from September 23, 2021, a "yellow" zone of epidemiological danger of the spread of COVID-19 will be established. Therefore, restrictive anti-epidemiological measures prescribed for the "yellow" level of danger are applied in all regions. 

"In particular, it is prohibited: visits to educational institutions for students, except for ... educational institutions in which at least 80 percent of employees have a document confirming vaccination (obtaining an international domestic certificate or a foreign certificate confirming vaccination against COVID-19 with one dose of a two-dose vaccine, or one dose of a single-dose vaccine or two doses of a two-dose vaccine...).

The management of ISTU notes that the percentage of vaccinated scientific-pedagogical and administrative staff of the university is more than 80%, which indicates compliance with the established norms. Therefore, students can continue to attend our institution of higher education in the previous mode.

If the epidemiological situation in the city of Kyiv and the Kyiv region deteriorates rapidly, the administration of ISTU will be forced to make a decision about a complete transition to online education, which will be immediately announced through all communication channels.

Please take care of your health and be responsible!
