“If we are talking about the lives of our citizens, if we are talking about how many citizens can be infected, then the government is forced to take measures. After all, the idle mode is not extended for a week, but for a month ... Conclusions from the previous week indicate that this measure is justified. We must come to terms with the fact that we live in such conditions. We need to mobilize, we must comply with all the prescribed recommendations, we must take a responsible approach to our actions, ”said Nilov.

The deputy noted that the authorities are taking these measures to reduce the likelihood of infection.

Earlier, Putin in an appeal to the Russians announced the extension of the holiday regime until April 30.
