“The epidemic situation is extremely tense.

We were working on ... the possibility of conducting non-working days from October 23rd.

We came to the conclusion that we can do without this extreme measure for now, ”Vedernikov wrote on his Instagram.

He added that additional restrictions will be introduced in the region.

On October 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which non-working days are declared in the country from October 30 to November 7.

This decision was made in connection with the spread of the coronavirus.

At the same time, the regional authorities have the right to establish additional non-working days until October 30 and extend them after November 7, with the preservation of wages for employees.
