Crimea and Sevastopol weakened anti-Covid measures in different ways
In Crimea, the latest anti-Covid measures that applied to public transport, catering and trade were canceled.
The ban on holding mass events has also been lifted, but their organizers need to check the temperature of visitors, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The new version of the decree of the head of Crimea on increased preparedness for emergencies due to coronavirus has abolished the mandatory wearing of masks for drivers, sellers, and waiters. This clause has long been a source of resentment because visitors, shoppers and passengers were removed from this obligation much earlier. Also, shop and cafe owners can remove the 1,5-meter social distance markings and arrange tables without observing it. At the same time, the requirement to vaccinate employees against coronavirus infection remains in force.
In Yevpatoria, the observatory for contacts with sick people is closed; until the result of the COVID test, there is no longer a need to observe self-isolation, but the test itself remains on the list of requirements for those who have returned from abroad.
The moratorium on public events and festivals has been lifted, but their organizers must provide thermometry and hand disinfection for participants. But this year no large-scale events are expected due to the ban on the operation of the Simferopol airport. There are still not enough train tickets.
Sevastopol is waiting for similar relaxations to be introduced in the city.
“I don’t understand that our government is mocking trade workers? – asks one of the users on the Sevastopol government page. – All restrictions have been lifted throughout Russia, but here, as always, it’s a mess. We ourselves are at a government meeting without masks, but why the hell are we wearing masks? What nonsense? Put things in order in the city, what kind of nonsense is this, or are you only thinking for yourself?”
The mask regime for employees of trade, service and public catering enterprises in Sevastopol continues to be in force until appropriate changes are made to the governor’s decree.
