A new wave of covid is expected in Crimea
Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov believes that in June there will be a new wave of coronavirus infections in Crimea. It will provoke a massive influx of tourists.

In connection with recent events, the demand for holidays in Russian resorts has increased several times. And this is despite the fact that planes do not fly to Crimea, and you can only get there by rail or road. However, a record number of visitors are expected to arrive on the peninsula for holidays this year. And they can provoke a new wave of coronavirus infections.

Sergey Aksyonov referred to the forecasts of Rospotrebnadzor, which expects a surge in the number of cases and hospitalizations in Crimea in June. At the same time, local authorities have removed almost all existing restrictions for tourists, including vaccination certificates and negative PCR tests. It remains only at the level of recommendations to wear masks in public places and in public transport.

In the last month, no more than a few dozen people fall ill with coronavirus every day in Crimea. So, over the past day, coronavirus infection was detected in 13 residents of Crimea, during the same period 42 people recovered, and two died.
