The epidemic in Russia as a whole is manageable, but the situation in several regions is very dire and the death rate is worrying, Russian President Vladimir Putin told an online government meeting on Wednesday.
Putin asked regional leaders not to embellish the situation.
“ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE”
He called for this practice and drew attention to the fact that low indicators can raise questions about the quality of diagnoses. He warned leaders of the regions of personal responsibility associated with widespread authority over the epidemic.
Under no circumstances should you try to beautify the situation.
– Putin stressed and called on regional leaders to respond immediately to any disruption in the health care system. The president also urged shortening the 48-hour test results standard.
Deputy Prime Minister Tatyjana Golikova told the meeting that 81 percent of beds suitable for treating new coronavirus patients are occupied nationwide, but there is a lack of capacity in some regions. He said the incidence of the infection had doubled in the past month and a half, from 6.1 to 15.3 per 100,000 residents. According to his report, the most infected region of Russia is Karelia, where this indicator is 61.8, and the least affected area is Tatarstan, where only 1.8.
He said nightclubs and restaurants in 79 regions of the country must close from 11 pm to 6 am Wearing a mask is mandatory across the country.
