“We warmly appeal to parents, when you have the opportunity, to let your children play at home as much as possible during the upcoming, extended autumn break. Outdoor games and parks will remain open, but do not serve as a place to get together. Times back when you see that these places are busy. In addition, we do not recommend using grandparents or other risk groups to take care of your children during the autumn holidays, “emphasizes Mayor Thomas Vints.
Camps continue
