2. Direct educational institutions to organize the opening ceremony of the new school year in a concise, safe manner, suitable to the actual conditions of the locality. Absolutely do not hold opening ceremonies in areas with heavy rain at risk of landslides or flooding;

- If due to the worker's fault, that worker is not paid; other workers in the same unit who have to stop working are paid according to the rate agreed by the two parties but not lower than the minimum wage;
- If due to power, water issues not caused by the employer's fault or due to natural disasters, fires, dangerous epidemics, enemy sabotage, relocation of the operation site at the request of competent state authorities or for economic reasons, the two parties agree on the suspension pay as follows:
a) If the suspension of work is 14 working days or less, the suspension pay is agreed upon but not lower than the minimum wage;
b) If the suspension of work exceeds 14 working days, the suspension pay is agreed upon by the two parties but the pay for the first 14 days must not be lower than the minimum wage.

- If the suspension of work exceeds 14 working days, the suspension pay is agreed upon by the two parties but must ensure the pay for the first 14 days is not lower than the minimum wage.

5. Strong wind at sea is wind with a speed of level 6 or higher occurring at sea, determined as an average over a 2-minute observation period (measured in Beaufort wind scale levels).
6. A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with the maximum wind speed from level 6 to level 7 and possibly with gusts (Appendix III of this Decision).
