Trace Spread of a new strain of coronavirus “omicron”
The current epidemiological situation associated with the spread of the Omicron strain allows us to speak of the relaxation of a number of requirements and guidelines for the prevention of COVID -19, said Anna Popova, head of Rospotrebnadzor.< /p>
“Today, given the dynamics, given the predictions made by our scientists and experts, we can talk about relaxing a number of requirements, relaxing a number of methodological recommendations when a period of, if so to speak, epidemiological remission in the Russian Federation sets in », — she said at a meeting of the Presidium of the Coordinating Council under the Government of the Russian Federation to Combat Coronavirus Infection.
Chief Sanitary Physician from Russia explained that the preventive measures that were relevant one and two years ago, with the dominance of a new strain, can be revised.
We are talking in particular about the relaxation of coronavirus prevention recommendations in catering establishments, cultural institutions, fitness centers. In addition, the obligation to organize lessons for schoolchildren in a class can be waived.
““Of course, we are reviewing and preparing material for such changes. .. Again I want to make a reservation — only for the situation that is developing today, and which is associated with the omicron option, — Popova added.
Recall that over the past few weeks, several regions have relaxed anti-COVID restrictions, including partially or completely removing QR codes.
