We don’t expect new arrivals from other countries (according to restrictions from 16/03 till the 1st of May Russian borders are closed for foreign citizens).

Avoid visiting public places: shopping centers, sports and entertainment events, public transport during rush hours. Use a medical mask in public places, change it every 2-3 hours. Avoid close contact and staying in the same room with people who have visible symptoms of COVID-19 (coughing, sneezing, running nose). Wash your hands with soap more often.
