"The information spread in messengers that children will be sent to distance learning from September 15 and that masks will be introduced in institutions is not true," reads the statement.
The department explained that a resolution of the chief state sanitary doctor of Kazakhstan is approved annually, which provides for preventive and anti-epidemic measures during the epidemic season.
"According to the resolution, vaccination against influenza will begin from September 15. The mask regime is introduced only for employees of medical organizations. We urge all citizens to trust reliable information from official sources," reads the statement.
