The head of the St. Petersburg Rospotrebnadzor gave an interview
The head of the department of Rospotrebnadzor in St. Petersburg, the chief state sanitary doctor of the city Natalia Bashkova gave an interview to the 78 television channel.
Bashkova said that “if people do not take their heads,” then additional restrictions can be introduced in the city. She says that the situation with infectious diseases in St. Petersburg has become more complicated than in the spring - this was affected by fewer restrictions. At the same time, the doctor is sure that now it is impossible to rediscover all hospitals under coronavirus, since people need to be treated for other diseases.
According to the head of Rospotrebnadzor, many coronavirus infected in public transport when they drive without masks.
- Most of the Petersburgers are infected in public transport and shopping centers. Of the respondents, 80 % [of those who fell ill with coronavirus] went in public transport without masks, went to shopping centers and mass events. Speaking about the situation in cultural institutions - people who come to theaters and museums do not get sick, as they relate to observing sanitary measures more responsibly].
Bashkova said that the restriction of the time of work of catering establishments in St. Petersburg was mandatory, unlike Moscow, where they did not introduce such a requirement, despite the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor. According to her, this happened because Petersburgers “mix” the concepts of “bar” and “disco”.
- In St. Petersburg, it is impossible to choose dancing from those who just came to eat in a restaurant. Our people are not as executive as in Tatarstan and Chechnya, where, thanks to the self -discipline of residents, the best situation is observed in terms of coronavirus spread. <...> In Moscow, a huge tracking system that has existed for a very long time, including public transport. They have a different situation. In St. Petersburg, this is not.
The head of Rospotrebnadzor noted that the flu in St. Petersburg is not yet registered, but if you do not vaccinate, this will cause an additional burden on the healthcare system.
Bashkova noted that St. Petersburg schools do not plan to transfer to distance learning, and also condemned the concert for pensioners in the midst of the pandemic.
Earlier, due to the increase in the incidence of coronavirus in St. Petersburg, Smolny allowed the introduction of mandatory self-isolation for the elderly Petersburgers. So far this remains a recommendatory measure. Read the monologues of epidemiologists and economists about whether coronavirus restrictions helped to restrain the epidemic and what will happen if you do not introduce quarantine.
