Vaccination is ongoing, the number of vaccinated people is 3,145,592, of which 1,349,314 people have already received their second vaccination. 90% of the elderly who applied for vaccination and nearly half (49.6%) of those registered between the ages of 18 and 59 have already received the vaccine.

Today and Saturday, registered teachers, nurseries, kindergartens and school workers will have another opportunity to be vaccinated out of line.
The peak of the third wave of the epidemic can be felt, but even now many people are infected, so compliance with protective measures is still important. In order to contain the epidemic, the government is extending the protection measures that are currently in effect, so wearing masks and keeping distance in public areas will be mandatory even after April 19, and the evening curfew that comes into effect at 10 p.m. will also remain in effect.
