New coronavirus restrictions will be in place across Estonia from Monday, November 1. Entertainment facilities close at 11 p.m., minors must show covid passes, and certificates need to be checked against ID.
Mayor of Tallinn Mihhail Kõlvart (Center) is not wavering in his decision to send grades 4-8 schoolchildren at municipal schools on to remote learning for one week, starting Monday, while higher, and lower, grades will continue in-class learning.
Tallinn city government's decision to place grade 4-8 schoolchildren on distance learning next week is unfair to those students who are vaccinated, education minister Liina Kersna (Reform) told ETV news show 'Aktuaalne kaamera' (AK) in an interview Wednesday evening, which follows.
The Center Party and the Social Democrats (SDE) have not yet signed an agreement to enter office together at Tallinn city council, while Center's secretary general says a deal might not even be struck next week, either.
Raimond Kaljulaid, SDE's leader at Tallinn city council chambers, denied that the party, whose support was halved at the recent local elections in comparison with those in 2017, was clinging to Center for survival at any cost. The two parties start their Tallinn coalition negotiations Monday, having agreed to talk last Friday.
