As noted in the order published by the press service of the government, the decision to postpone the deadline was taken in connection with the announcement by WHO of an emergency of international importance due to the outbreak of a new coronavirus infection.
So, it is entrusted to postpone the forum scheduled for February 12-14, and the organizing committee for the preparation and conduct of the event to submit proposals on new dates for its holding.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova proposed to cancel the forum in connection with the situation with coronavirus.
