Vaccinated third-country students have difficulty obtaining a valid Covid-19 certificate in Latvia
It is difficult for students who have received Covid-19 pots outside the European Union to obtain a valid Covid-19 certificate in Latvia.
The current rules do not allow for the recognition of a certificate if the vaccine has been registered by the World Health Organization but has not been recognized by the European Union.
The Ministry of Health calls on the government to make a decision regarding foreign students.
Currently, third-country students have to study remotely or take a test regularly, or study again in Latvia.

The Social Democrats (SPD) have won the German Bundestag elections.
The Social Democrats, led by Chancellor-designate Olaf Scholz, won 25.7% of the vote.
However, this is a very small advantage over the Christian Democrats, who have won 24.1%.
For the Christian Democrats, represented by former Chancellor Angela Merkel, such a poor election result is the first time.
It is not clear who will form the next German government.
It will all depend on the other parties in parliament.
Negotiations on the formation of the next coalition could take several months.
The fuel crisis continues in the UK

Fuel is on and people should not panic.
But the reason is the lack of truck drivers.
The British government is considering involving the army in fuel supplies.
