Anti-covid restrictions will be in force in St. Petersburg until January 2025. Such a decision was made in the city government.
The decision to extend the measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection was motivated by the growing number of cases. Only for the last day since March 28, 191 new cases of infection with the virus have been recorded in the city.
Thus Smolny corrected its own decree of March 13, 2020. From the document excluded paragraphs regulating a number of "fire" measures designed to help during the active spread of coronavirus infection.
These are sections relating to sanatorium-resort treatment, mandatory vaccination of a number of categories of citizens, the responsibility of managers for the implementation of these measures. The minimum recommended restrictions in the form of wearing masks have been preserved.
Now in hospitals are 1130 people with COVID-19 and pneumonia, 2416 patients are treated on an outpatient basis. Over the past week, more than 24 thousand cases of COVID-19 were registered in Russia. The "omicron" variant remains predominant.
