The police began a check after a video with tips on cheating the PCR test

The Krasnoyarsk police are checking a video in which the DIRECTOR of one of the branches of a travel agency spoke about the falsification of the results of a PCR test for traveling abroad, according to the website of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the region.

“In this video, the director of one of the branches of a travel agency says that she assisted clients with a positive PCR test result for CORONAVIRUS in obtaining a negative result of the same test, which is necessary for traveling abroad,” the message says.

Earlier, the director of the Krasnoyarsk travel agency, Ekaterina Semenova, said on Instagram that she had instructed a tourist who received a positive PCR test result for covid-19 before flying to Egypt: in order for the test to turn out to be negative, she advised “fill Miramistin” wherever possible - into the nose, in the mouth there, in the ears.

The woman explained that her client, who had already been vaccinated against the coronavirus, had a positive PCR test. She also said that on the day of departure, Egypt began to let in only vaccination certificates, so he would not need the results of a PCR test.

Later on Instagram, the girl called her advice a joke. She explained that it was decided to retake the positive PCR test because of the recent vaccination. The second test was negative. However, the tourist crossed the border, presenting a certificate of vaccination. “I regret that my poorly worded phrase was misinterpreted as a call to distort the results,” she wrote.

Anex Tour later stated that Semenova is not the director of the representative office of the tour operator Anex Tour in Krasnoyarsk, but the owner of a franchised travel agency, she worked with the company under a partnership agreement for the implementation of tours. Cooperation with her has been terminated, the company added.

Earlier, three people were detained in Moscow on suspicion of making and selling fake COVID-19 vaccination certificates . The certificates were sold at prices ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 rubles.
