"We must be prepared for an increase in the incidence and increase the volume of vaccinations," the minister said. "Shortly, according to experts, decisions will most likely be made to restrict the travel of Russian citizens to countries where the disease is growing. First of all, these are Turkey and European countries, where the situation is causing concern."

The regional Health Minister also noted that to date, 263,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine had been delivered to Bashkiria, including 3,240 doses of the EpiVacCorona vaccine from the Novosibirsk Center Vektor.

Simultaneously, over 40% of the total number of vaccinated are citizens over 60 years old, the minister reported.
