Russia - New restrictions will be introduced in Yakutia due to omicron

Russia (bbabo.net), - Additional restrictive measures will be introduced in Yakutia due to the omicron coronavirus strain detected in the republic. The first woman infected with "omicron" in the region was a Yakut woman who returned from a vacation from Turkey.

In this regard, a meeting of the operational headquarters of the republic was held in Yakutia to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It was decided that the Ministry of Health will ensure rapid testing of people with symptoms of acute respiratory diseases and contact persons. The work of ambulance teams and call centers will be strengthened.

Particular attention will be paid to the functioning of educational institutions, as children remain unprotected from the disease. Employers are encouraged to transfer the majority of employees to remote work. The Republican Operational Headquarters was instructed to accelerate the pace of vaccination and revaccination of residents.

- Now we have a small "window of opportunity" to prevent outbreaks, but it is limited to only a couple of weeks, given the speed of the spread of the disease, - said the head of the region, Aisen Nikolaev.
