Head of the excursion should have full data of school students and their parents. The group should include one person who has skills in providing first medical aid if necessary. Transportation of food products should be ensured in line with sanitary/hygienic norms. The regulations have already been sent to all educational institutions. source: 1TV/1tv.ge
