The most extensive quarantines were imposed on children's and adults' hobbies and team sports. In addition, two schools had infections, and therefore, more than 100 pupils were quarantined. Based on the tracing of transmission chains, it appears that most infections are linked to the same chain of infection.
The City's Emergency Management Team decided to maintain all recommendations and restrictions because the number of infections is increasing. The city is closely monitoring whether infection rates continue to increase in recreational activities in some specific hobby activities for under 18 years old.
