The Governor of the Bryansk region believes that all citizens do not need to be tested for coronavirus. You can take the test only on the testimony of a doctor. If a person has not traveled abroad and feels healthy, there is no need to carry out tests. Having received a negative result, people will not be afraid to go outside and visit. This cannot be allowed, according to the governor. There is a shortage of medical masks and antiseptic solutions for hands in the city.
