In Komi will strengthen control over the organization of school meals. This instruction was given by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Natalia Yakimova at a meeting with representatives of local administrations.
The participants also discussed the epidemiological situation. Despite her stabilization, Yakimova urged to continue vaccination against influenza and strengthen preventive work. Now the seasonal increase in incidence particularly affects children.
In addition, municipalities were instructed to more actively involve students and employees of large enterprises in medical examinations, organize consultations of doctors and on-site medical examinations.
