OREANDA-NEWS. Improving the situation with the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19 makes it possible to review the restrictions imposed in March on entry into and exit from Russia. This was stated by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at a meeting of the Presidium of the Coordinating Council for the Control of the Disease, held in a video conference mode.

“For many people it is very important to be in our country now, including, for example, to help sick relatives. For others, on the contrary, it is necessary to leave for serious reasons”, Mishustin said. The Prime Minister said that the government has received many appeals in connection with the current situation, and therefore it was decided to change the previously imposed restrictions.

“A government decree has been signed that allows Russian citizens to leave the country to take care of sick relatives living in other states, as well as for those who are going to work or study. Departure is also provided for Russians who need to receive medical care abroad”, Mishustin said.
