The transition to distance learning, a look at the extension of the quarantine regime and other issues have become topics of today's media.

The website Yenisabah.az quotes the opinion of the rector of the Azerbaijan State Economic University regarding the resumption of the traditional educational process. He believes that the infection in this case may increase by 4 times. He considers it inevitable to conduct classes remotely, which should be of high quality. It is imperative to provide high-quality distance learning, as this will help Azerbaijani universities compete with world ones.

The website Azpolitika.info discusses with the deputy Vugar Bayramov the possibility of extending the quarantine, calling it undesirable. If this happens, it would be more expedient to gradually resume the economy. WHO also does not consider it advisable to extend the quarantine regime, the MP said. It would be nice to expand the activities of the service and catering sectors. According to official statistics, 78.2 thousand people work in the tourist accommodation and catering system, and 81.5 thousand citizens work in the field of entertainment and art. The deputy believes that taking into account the quarantine rules, ordinary cafes and restaurants may open from September 15, large shopping facilities from October 1, and from November 1 - celebration houses operating according to new standards.

The website Modern.az also writes about the need to cancel the quarantine regime. In particular, MP Musa Guliyev believes that travel bans in the districts should be noted. As you know, the quarantine regime has been extended until August 31. Musa Guliyev believes that the quarantine regime should be relaxed, provided that its rules are observed. It is impossible to live in isolation forever, so we need to look for the most acceptable forms, including for training in universities and schools, the deputy believes. -0-
