Volodin announced the need to finalize the bill on QR codes

The bill on the introduction of QR codes in public places, the consideration of which was decided to be postponed, needs to be finalized. This was stated in the TELEGRAM channel by the speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.

“The bill needs to be finalized, I want to say thanks to government representatives that they understand this,” he wrote.

Volodin added that on Monday, January 17, the State Duma Council will discuss the issue of withdrawing the bill on QR codes in public places from consideration.

Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova announced that the government and the United RUSSIA party had decided to postpone consideration of the bill in the second reading. She explained this by the fact that the document was originally prepared as a reaction to the spread of the delta strain of CORONAVIRUS, but recently “new challenges” have arisen. We are talking about the spread of a new strain of covid-19 "omicron", said Andrei Turchak, Secretary of the General Council of United Russia.
