Children will continue to need a certificate from their family doctor before attending a camp

To ensure epidemiological safety and prevent the uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 infection in children's camps, the Cabinet approved amendments* on 15 June stipulating that every child will still need a certificate from their family doctor before attending a camp, and that camp organizers must obtain an opinion from the Health Inspectorate confirming compliance with all requirements.

It is important that, before the camp, a doctor assess both the child's physical and mental health, thereby preventing, as far as possible, a participant infected with COVID-19 from attending the camp.

The validity period of these requirements has been extended until the end of this year.
