“In almost all the settlements where quarantine is introduced, firstly, important enterprises and organizations for the region work, and secondly, a fairly high level of migration. Despite all the restrictions, people from other regions and Nizhny Novgorod have been actively coming there in recent weeks, which has led to the emergence of local foci of the disease, ”RIA Novosti quoted the governor as saying.

On the territory of the settlements in which quarantine is declared, the entry of non-residents is prohibited. Departure of citizens is also prohibited.

For control, checkpoints and roadblocks are installed.

Earlier, Nikitin made changes to the decree on the introduction of high alert, which implies increased security measures in the May holidays.
