The authorities of Buryatia announced a new lockdown

All institutions will be closed except grocery stores, transport, media and life support services. Also, the admission of citizens to places of mass recreation, including Baikal, will be limited.

Mediazona recalls that in November 2020, Buryatia became one of the first regions with a "repeated lockdown", when restaurants, shopping centers, cinemas, fitness clubs and beauty salons were suspended there.

"The purpose of the introduced restrictions is to reverse the epidemic situation, which has been deteriorating for the fifth week in a row", - RBC quotes the message of the republican headquarters for combating coronavirus infection.
