From December 5, points where you can get vaccinated will open - but so far only for teachers and school staff, as well as medical workers. Vladimir Putin said that we should start vaccination next week. Perhaps the goal is to get ahead of the United States. Vaccinations will start there no earlier than December 11th. No vaccine has been approved in America.
Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Evgeny Yelin asked tourists not to come for the New Year. This year, all cafes and bars in the city will be closed from December 30 to January 3 . “Let's take care of your health, the health of your children and the health of the residents,” said Yelin throughout the country . Half of Russians believe that in general it is necessary to cancel New Year's festivities .
What else
Most health workers believe that an ambulance travels longer during a pandemic because people call doctors in vain. 80% of the participants in the survey of the Doctor's Directory service believe that it's all about unreasonable calls. The vast majority of health workers noticed how the waiting time for an ambulance has increased - up to a day or more.
