The Ombudsman commented on the decision of the Moscow authorities to extend the visit to summer verandas without QR codes

“Of course, such a relaxation will partially help the restaurant business.

There are very few people with QR codes so far, the halls are being filled slowly.

And the presence of verandas allows someone to exist somehow, ”he said in an interview with Life.ru.

The Ombudsman expressed hope that this measure will be extended further.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that serving visitors to summer verandas without showing QR codes will be allowed until August 1.

Elena Tsereteli, Chairperson of the Public Council for the Development of Small Business under the Governor of St. Petersburg, spoke with the FBA "Economics Today" about the impact of the pandemic on business.
