The corresponding message was published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“As for the opening of borders for Russians in popular European tourist destinations, it’s too early to talk about specific dates,” the foreign ministry said.

The ministry emphasized that it is “obvious to everyone” that the threat of the spread of COVID-19 “has not yet been overcome on a global scale”.

It is also indicated that the decision to resume regular passenger flights should be carefully worked out and made taking into account the epidemiological situation in Russia and the world as a whole.

Earlier, the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said that Russian tourists will be able to fly abroad when the risk of the spread of coronavirus will be minimal.
