As reported on the website of the regional government, the corresponding order at the regional headquarters on coronavirus was given by the acting governor Mikhail Degtyarev.

Earlier it was decided that school camps would also be opened in similar municipalities. The organization of their work has already begun on August 1.

Degtyarev noted that "in the Nikolaev area for the entire period of the pandemic there were only 16 patients, while there is a swimming pool, there are sports facilities, the museum is closed."

“People don't understand why this is happening. I believe that in compliance with all anti-epidemic standards, they need to be opened, ”he said.

In turn, the chief sanitary doctor of the region Tatyana Zaitseva noted that at the next meeting of the working group on the prevention of COVID-19, experts will agree on this issue.

She said that "this can be done, but on condition that the municipalities, together with Rospotrebnadzor, will ensure full control over the implementation of sanitary requirements."

Earlier in the Sverdlovsk region, the self-isolation regime was extended for people 65 years and older and people with chronic diseases until August 10.
