The changes are associated with the peculiarities of the course of the disease when infected with an omicron strain, which is similar to ARVI, RIA Novosti reports.
Thus, children who are on distance learning as contacts will be able to study full-time from February 7.
Rospotrebnadzor previously issued a decree according to which mandatory self-isolation for those who have been in contact with COVID-19 patients is canceled from February 6.
