OREANDA-NEWS. May holidays (from May 1 to 5 and from May 9 to 11) are likely to become a continuation of the regime of self-isolation, and working days between them are to be declared days off.

This is the main scenario that the federal authorities are now considering, two sources familiar with the discussion of the issue told RBC news agency. If people continue to stay at home, this will help to restrain a further wave of the spread of coronavirus infection, one of interlocutors explained.

Another scenario is to extend the regime of weeks off until mid-May, another source familiar with the discussion of the issue said. In case of a negative development of events, it is possible that self-isolation regime will be extended until June 1, he added.
