Previously, for refusing to provide an ambulance with flashing lights and an audible signal, the advantage on the road was a fine of up to 500 rubles or deprivation of rights for up to three months, now it is increasing to 5 thousand rubles, and the term of deprivation of rights will be from three months to one year.
As noted, the obstruction of the provision of medical care, if it led to the death of the patient, will be punished by restraint of liberty for up to four years or by forced labor.
