And last week, the first sanctions were applied to grocery stores that catered to buyers without masks. Tell you what repression are waiting for outlets and why, in principle, need to wear a mask (even if you doubt their sanitary properties).
the level of recommendation a mask mode works in Novosibirsk for more than two months, but the mandatory requirement to wear a mask in public places appeared only on may 28 (the day the Governor signed the corresponding decree). Since then, says head of Department of the consumer market of the mayoralty of Novosibirsk Vitaly Vitukhin, checked 800 — both stores and foodservice.
