According to the head of the Rospotrebnadzor Office for Chuvashia, Nadezhda Lugovskaya, the rate of increase in the incidence in the republic is almost twice as high as the national average.

“Given the current epidemiological situation, we suggest recommending that citizens observe the mask regime in public places, crowded places, in transport and indoors, at the place of work and study,” the press service quoted Lugovskaya as saying.

It is noted that social service institutions and medical organizations have already introduced a mandatory mask regime.

Earlier it was reported that the authorities of Buryatia introduced a mask mode due to an increase in the incidence rate in the region.
