Currently, news about the quarantine situation in Russia due to COVID-19 is heard everywhere, however, many do not know the quarantine provisions in Kopeysk for coronavirus. Now there are violations of the regime due to ignorance of quarantine measures. How are things in the city of Kopeysk, Chelyabinsk region? The reader will learn about the rules of self-isolation, quarantine measures and deadlines from this article.
List of restrictions due to coronavirus
Aleksey Tesler, the governor of the Chelyabinsk region, has established a quarantine regime due to a virus that has entered the region. The police of the city of Kopeysk continue to patrol the streets and monitor compliance with quarantine measures: residents of Kopeysk are advised to stay at home, and those who arrive from abroad are given special measures.
According to the rules of the quarantine measure, they are required to pass a special test for coronavirus infection, and in case of a positive result, they are quarantined in an infectious diseases hospital. But the general regime of self-isolation is still violated: cases of violations have been recorded, and some violators have even paid a fine. Quarantine rules have several restrictions:
- you can’t go out without urgent need (a threat to health when emergency services are called, as well as the road to work);
- you can go to the nearest grocery stores and pharmacies that are close to home;
- you can walk dogs and take out the garbage near the house, no further than 100 meters;
- in public transport and shops, a distance of 1.5 meters must be observed;
- organizations that continue to work are required to make markings to maintain distance. Usually these are bright stripes on the floor, or signs and printed announcements.
Notices have been put up in public places reminding people to keep a distance between people. This greatly reduces the risk of airborne transmission.
Penalties for violators
The quarantine regime was put in place for a reason, and those who violate it must be held accountable: after all, by their actions they endanger not only their own health, but also the health of all the people around them, especially those at risk. On the territory of the Chelyabinsk region, there is a regime of high readiness for self-isolation of citizens.
In the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, under article two, a fine of 15,000 rubles will be punished for violating legislation in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population. Such an offense is considered administrative. Violators are required to pay a fine and prevent repeated violations, otherwise they will face a tougher punishment. There have already been cases of violations in the region, and it came to litigation.
The goals of introducing quarantine in the city
For general safety in the Chelyabinsk region and Kopeysk, the quarantine headquarters introduced a self-isolation regime for citizens. The authorities support hospitals, medical workers and take a number of measures for the inhabitants of the country. This is necessary in order to:
- reduce the number of cases of COVID-19;
- reduce the spread of infection;
- reduce the appearance on the street of people who are at risk for coronavirus infection.
Quarantine in Kopeysk schools has also been introduced by the authorities in order to prevent the spread of infection in the city, as the number of cases is growing. All schools and educational institutions have been transferred to distance learning, that is, via the Internet. Many shops with non-food products have been closed, mass events and concerts are being cancelled. All these actions contribute to slowing down the spread of infection.
How long will quarantine last in Kopeysk
Throughout the country, quarantine was extended until the end of April, and the question arises of extending quarantine in Kopeysk, Chelyabinsk region. The city is looking at the spread of the disease and the number of infected; Governor of the Chelyabinsk Region Alexei Teksler said earlier that the quarantine regime could be lifted before April 19, but later the situation became less clear, and decisions to extend the quarantine have not yet been made. The authorities are looking at the situation with the coronavirus pandemic in the Chelyabinsk region and also at the number of infected, which makes it possible to make a decision to cancel or extend the quarantine in Kopeysk. Currently, the quarantine lasts until April 30, 2020.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced the country's residents to panic and take various health measures, such as urgently buying masks and hand sanitizers. But some citizens, on the contrary, violate the quarantine rules, however, only under the condition of universal observance of self-isolation is it possible to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Kopeysk and in the Chelyabinsk region as a whole. The epidemiological situation in the future will depend only on the observance by citizens of the prescribed quarantine norms. Residents of the city are only required to comply with the quarantine regime and be aware of events related to the pandemic situation.
