On December 21, the Moldovan authorities will exclude Russia from the list of the “red zone” – countries whose citizens must go to mandatory two-week isolation upon entry. This is stated in the decision of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Protection of the Republic, published on December 18 on the department’s website.
It is noted that the basis for the inclusion of a country in the “red zone” list is the incidence rate, which exceeds 375 people per 100 thousand population. Citizens of such states, upon entering Moldova, will have to fill out an epidemic passport and go into isolation for 14 days.
Currently, there are 37 countries on the list, while last week there were 63. In particular, the authorities of the republic removed from the list Russia, Israel, France, Great Britain and Germany.
