Even vaccinated people will have to take a coronavirus test twice after foreign trips

"Vaccine, PCR testing, the ratio of this to the presence of antibodies in citizens who have recovered, - now we are looking at this entire arsenal and are trying to somehow simplify our documents here, too, to make life easier for our citizens. So far we have not accumulated such a volume of information for that so that we can clearly say that if you were vaccinated, then you are absolutely not dangerous to anyone", - the Interfax news agency quoted Tatiana Golikova as saying.

Russians returning from abroad are required to take two PCR tests for coronavirus from May 1, while the second test must be completed five days after returning to Russia and the results must be uploaded to the public services portal. The interval between the first and second laboratory tests for COVID-19 should be at least one day.

Also, from the middle of this week, coronavirus tests are required from Russians and foreigners arriving from India to pass directly at the airport. They are also ordered to observe the isolation regime until the test results are received in order to prevent the spread of more infectious "Indian" strains of infection in Russia. In India, in recent days, about 4,000 people have been diagnosed with coronavirus every day, the number of deaths from this infection exceeds three thousand a day.

At the same time, in the first country - Montenegro, all restrictions on the entry of tourists from Russia, as well as Ukraine and Belarus, have been canceled during the tourist season. They will not even be required to perform PCR tests for coronavirus infection.

Coronavirus infection is especially dangerous for the elderly. Marina Patyashina, head of the Rospotrebnadzor Department of Tatarstan, said that every second coronavirus patient in the republic is over 60 years old. At the same time, of the total number of those who were vaccinated, persons over 60 years old make up only 12%, inkazan.ru notes.
