The department has decided to repeal the previous regulations for COVID-19 testing.
During the active period of the coronavirus pandemic, Rospotrebnadzor of Russia decided to test citizens at least 300 times (per 100 thousand people) in the regions of the country.
Now the government agency has ordered to cancel the previously introduced norms.
"I resolve that paragraphs two through six of subparagraph 2.5 of paragraph 2 of the decree of the Chief State Sanitary Inspector of the Russian Federation "On additional measures to reduce risks of spread of COVID-19 during the seasonal rise in the incidence of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza" shall be declared invalid," - stated in the new document.
The decree may be viewed on the website of Rospotrebnadzor of the Russian Federation.
At the moment the disease situation is still being monitored by the heads of the subjects of the country.
