Another reason for ending cooperation with the company is that the ministry staff has become less interested in attending it. «As we have significantly reduced our use of this sports club in recent years. In addition, we did not feel it ethical to work with a company that ignores coronavirus restrictions,» explained Katrin Lunt (Katrin Lunt), the spokesperson of the Estonian Justice Ministry.

Meanwhile, it is also required that all attendees – staff, members of the public etc. – present a valid coronavirus certificate, which for adults must be either proof of vaccination, or proof of recovery from the virus within the past six months, ERR reports.
