"Firstly, all regions have different situations and, of course, the governors should act depending on the situation and that's what they do. That is why they were granted special powers during the pandemic, which they are implementing. Indeed the number of those infected is growing, this is a subject for special attention. The main thing is that not only response centers should pay special attention, but also citizens, who must significantly increase the level of concern for their epidemiological safety and fulfill all the necessary prescriptions, wear masks, gloves and so on," Peskov told reporters.
