The Kremlin did not see the point in excessive restrictions in connection with the spread of the omicron strain. “Now there is no point in a lockdown, especially in the face of the emergence of new strains,” agreed Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.

In Moscow, against the background of the spread of the Omicron strain, a lockdown will not be introduced, two sources close to the city authorities told RBC. The mayor's office believes that the current measures are sufficient. When making decisions on new restrictions, they are guided by the level of hospitalizations, the sources said.

The increase in the number of cases of COVID-19 in Russia could last up to four months, as the herd immunity among Russians is at a low level, said Sergey Netesov, a virologist and HEAD of a laboratory at Novosibirsk State University. Over the week, the level of herd immunity in Russia has not changed and remained at the level of 64.4%. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova clarified that the largest decline was recorded in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Chechnya, Moscow, as well as in the Moscow, Ivanovo and Kostroma regions. Russia is considering applications from two foreign manufacturers of coronavirus vaccines. According to Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, ASTRAZENECA and "another Chinese firm" have submitted bids.
