Russians were asked to refrain from traveling to other regions

Russians should refrain from traveling to other regions of the country not to complicate the coronavirus situation there. Tatiana Golikova, Deputy Prime Minister of the country's government, said this at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The number of occupied hospital beds for patients with coronavirus in Russia is 86.6%, the Deputy Prime Minister said.

"To date, 276.5 thousand beds have been deployed in the Russian Federation, of which 66.1% are equipped with oxygen supply. As of yesterday morning, 86.6% of beds were occupied in the country as a whole," she said.

Golikova added that in 40 regions, the bed occupancy rate exceeded the national average, and in 27 regions, it was more than 90%.

She stressed that "the most difficult situation is in the Stavropol Territory, the Republic of Adygea, the Chelyabinsk, Oryol, Amur, Samara, Saratov regions, where bed occupancy exceeds 95 percent".
