on Wednesday ordered a weeklong nonworking period to take effect Oct. 30 as hospitals in some regions overwhelmed by COVID-19 infections were forced to suspend care for patients without the virus, the Associated Press reported.
"Our task today is to protect life and health of our citizens and minimize the consequences of the dangerous infection," Putin said during a video call with top officials."To achieve that, it's necessary to first of all slow the pace of contagion and mobilize additional reserves of the health care system, which is currently working under a high strain."Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered a weeklong nonworking period to take effect Oct.
"There are only two ways to get over this period — to get sick or to receive a vaccine," Putin said."It's better to get the vaccine, why wait for the illness and its grave consequences? Please be responsible and take the necessary measures to protect yourself, your health and your close ones." Even though Russia in August 2020 became the first country in the world to authorize a coronavirus vaccine and vaccines are plentiful, Russians have shown hesitancy about getting the shots, a skepticism blamed on conflicting signals sent by authorities.
Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, who leads the government coronavirus task force, said Wednesday that the nonworking week will imply restrictions on access to restaurants, cafes, theaters, cinemas, gyms and other facilities, adding that authorities in each region will be expected to take relevant decisions.
In Moscow, however, life has continued as usual, with restaurants and movie theaters brimming with people, crowds swarming nightclubs and karaoke bars and commuters widely ignoring mask mandates on public transportation even as ICUs have filled in recent weeks.
