The authorities of Baikonur, where on Friday, January 7, against the backdrop of ongoing unrest in other cities of the country and the anti-terrorist operation announced by the authorities of Kazakhstan, an increased, blue level of terrorist danger was introduced, banned groups of more than three people from moving around the city. An exception is made only for families.

“The movement of persons in groups of more than three people, with the exception of family members, as well as the movement of minors unaccompanied by adults, is unacceptable,” reads a statement on the introduction of additional security measures published on the website of the Baikonur administration.

The introduction of the ban is explained by the need to strengthen measures to combat the spread of the CORONAVIRUS infection covid-19, and the corresponding norm was added to the resolution of the Mayor of Baikonur adopted back in March 2021 on “restrictive measures to prevent and limit the spread” of this disease.

The same document added a ban on Baikonur residents to leave their homes from 23:00 to 06:00.
