According to the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Tuva No. 397 dated September 16, 2026, a special fire-fighting regime operates in the republic. In addition, since September 17, by order of the Head of Tuva Vladislav Khovalig, security measures have been strengthened due to the frequent cases of bears entering settlements. These measures will continue until November 30, 2026.

In this regard, educational organizations are not recommended to conduct excursions, meetings, hikes, actions, challenges and any other mass activity in the open area in natural conditions. Heads of agencies need to cancel planned retreats or move them to a safe format. In particular, the events dedicated to the International Tourism Day on September 27 were canceled.

The government of the republic emphasizes that the priority in the current situation is the safety of citizens, especially children.
