“I would like to thank you and all your employees for the work that you are doing in today's difficult conditions, to express hope that the rule of law and security of the country will continue to be reliably ensured,” the head of state said.

He noted that the heads of the regions have a special responsibility, and they will be provided with all the necessary support and additional opportunities.

“Today, in a situation where we continue to fight against coronavirus infection, a significant part of the load will be in the regions, it is very important for us to ensure interaction between all levels of government: municipal, regional and federal,” Putin emphasized.

Earlier it was reported that in Russia the police opened more than a thousand administrative cases against citizens who violate the established restrictive measures for coronavirus.

At the same time, 145 administrative protocols on violation of restrictive measures were compiled in Moscow.
