Some regions have canceled the mask regime due to the decline of the next wave of COVID-19. This decision was made by the authorities of Moscow, Moscow region, Kemerovo, Tambov and Kursk regions. Even earlier, the requirement to wear masks was canceled by Udmurtia and Chechnya.

The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, noted on March 28 that the epidemic in Russia has not yet ended. According to her, in regions where the authorities have loosened anti-epidemic measures excessively, the spread rate of COVID-19 is increasing.

Director of the Center N.F. Gamalei Alexander Gintsburg urged Russians to re-vaccinate against COVID-19 due to an increase in the incidence in other countries.
