“I want to take this opportunity once again to warn citizens from traveling on May holidays to relatives and friends. Because over the past month, we, unfortunately, have fixed intra-family forms of infection, ”said the head of the Ministry of Health at a meeting on countering the spread of coronavirus.

He stressed that it is extremely important to protect loved ones, especially older people, from additional risks.

Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced the extension of non-working days in the country until May 11.
