Deputy Moscow Mayor Efimov did not rule out the introduction of new restrictions due to the omicron strain

According to RIA Novosti, decisions regarding the introduction of new restrictions will be made based on the burden on the healthcare system.

“We will certainly resort to them if such a need arises,” explained Efimov.

According to him, the main parameters for such decisions will be the incidence of coronavirus and the number of hospitalizations.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that if an omicron strain of coronavirus is detected in Moscow, restrictions will be introduced pointwise, taking into account the epidemiological situation.

The head of the MIPT genomic engineering laboratory, Pavel Volchkov, in an interview with RT, commented on the situation with the coronavirus in Russia, and also spoke about the necessary protective measures.
