“Since January 25, due to the difficult epidemic situation, in accordance with the decision of the regional operational headquarters to combat the new coronavirus infection, by order of the Minister of Health of the Perm Territory, the provision of planned medical care has been suspended in the clinics of the Kama region,” the Vkontakte department said.

The medical examination of the adult population in the region is also temporarily suspended.

Earlier in St. Petersburg, medical examinations and planned medical care in polyclinics were limited against the backdrop of the spread of the omicron coronavirus strain.

The former chief sanitary doctor of Russia, ex-State Duma deputy Gennady Onishchenko, in a conversation with NSN, recalled the need for vaccination against the backdrop of the spread of the omicron strain of coronavirus.
