There may be some spot measures, but the suspension of activity is out of the question.
According to the report of the first deputy chairman of the committee of industrial policy, innovations and trade Alexander Sitov at the press conference "Business and authority: experience of interaction and real practice of protection of interests of entrepreneurs" on January 25, at this stage St. Petersburg authorities are not considering introduction of lockdown due to spread of "omicron".
According to Sitov, due to the significant increase in the number of sick people, a mobilization mode is possible, but we are not talking about a lockdown, there will be some point measures, perhaps on the transition to a remote location. If there will be restrictions, there will be support measures, but the suspension of activity is not, reports "DP".
The deputy chairman of the relevant department stressed that St. Petersburg is a leader in vaccination after Sevastopol, so, despite the considerable load on the health system, the city has every chance not to resort to extreme anti-epidemic measures.
