However, as noted by Sobyanin, the relevant services will conduct checks on compliance with the already established measures. “I have already given such instructions to my services, they will monitor compliance with the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor. We will not strengthen these requirements, but those that have been established must be met,” he concluded.
