“But at the same time, we say that maintaining the rules of hygiene, the rules of restrictions that are recommended to the population, is simply necessary,” Murashko emphasized.
The minister also said that if necessary, a “floating restriction regime” could be introduced in Russia to counter the spread of COVID-19. He explained that with this format various modes can be applied, up to strict quarantine.
Answering a clarifying question, is it possible in Russia to have a format in which the introduction and abolition of quarantine will alternate, Murashko answered in the affirmative.

In an interview with RT, Honored Doctor of Russia, Doctor of Medical Sciences, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science Gennady Onishchenko noted that older people and people at risk for COVID-19 in Moscow should leave the restrictive regime “with caution” and observing safety precautions .
He recalled that in different regions of Russia has developed its own epidemiological situation, and where the situation is still under strict control, even walks in the fresh air should be avoided. The doctor noted that a sharp exit from the regime of self-isolation of most citizens without observing the necessary measures during the weekend can worsen the epidemiological situation.
“The main thing that you still need to pay attention to is personal protective equipment. Therefore, of course, older people and the so-called risk group need to observe precautions. They should get involved in this process carefully and with caution both from the point of view of physical activity and from the point of view of exposure to the sun, ”he said.
