Hobby activities and informal education may only be carried out in open air in groups of up to 10 people and a coach.

On Sunday, 27 January, Estonian health authorities reported 370 new coronavirus cases or 14,8 percent of all conducted tests were positive.
There are estimated to be 4 309 active cases in Harju County and the majority are in Tallinn. In a statement last week, Prime Minister Jüri Ratas referred to the growing number of hospital admissions and the coronavirus spreading among medical staff. He reiterated that current containment measures have proved insufficient to slow the infection rate. “We have to make difficult decisions to protect our medical system from overload and ensure access to medical care for all,” said Ratas.
