  Some 1,200 people, including over 200 children, have been injured, mainly by shards of the glass. About 50 people were hospitalized, and at least two people were reportedly in grave condition.
  Russia's consumer rights watchdog Rospotrebnadzor also said in a statement on Sunday that "all the medical and educational buildings have been restored. Studies at all children's educational institutions in the Chelyabinsk Region will continue on Monday."
  Over 24,000 workers and 4,300 pieces of equipment were involved in clearing up the damage caused by the meteorite, the regional emergency department said.
