The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds: do not go out on thin, unfrozen ice. Do not gather in groups on individual sections of ice. Do not approach holes, cracks, or openings in the ice. A single person may only go out if the ice thickness reaches 7 cm, and a group of people – no less than 12 cm.
