Not everyone will be able to enter the restaurants, and some services will be available only by appointment.

What restrictions are we talking about?

The number of cases of coronavirus began to increase again. Regional authorities are introducing new measures that should reduce contacts between people: they reduce the occupancy of halls during mass events, and so on. These steps are similar to last year's.

But then there was no vaccination against COVID-19, but now there is. Therefore, many of the new measures should encourage people to get vaccinated. The restrictions are intended to create inconvenience in daily activities and make it difficult for those who have not yet been vaccinated to access entertainment.

What are the restrictions in Moscow

• From June 28, cafes, restaurants and other catering establishments will be able to visit only people with vaccinations, or a negative PCR test no older than three days, or who have been ill within the last six months. To confirm one of these facts, you will have to present a special QR-code. The mayor's website contains detailed instructions on how to obtain this code. From June 24 to July 11, the requirement will not apply to summer verandas - they can be visited without a QR code. It will also not be needed by children accompanied by parents who have a QR code.
• Multifunctional centers accept vaccinated visitors without an appointment. Persons without vaccinations must make an appointment in advance. This does not apply to some services such as birth registration, social card issuance and compulsory medical insurance policy - they are still available to everyone without an appointment.
• Routine medical care in hospitals is provided only to those who are vaccinated or to those who have not been vaccinated for medical reasons. An exception is made for patients with oncological and hematological diseases, as well as those who need palliative care or emergency hospitalization.

What are the restrictions in the Tula region

You cannot hold mass events with the participation of more than 20 people. An exception was made for film screenings, performances, exhibitions and sporting events, if the occupancy rate of the halls does not exceed 50%. But vaccinated people are not taken into account when calculating it, therefore they are free to attend these events in excess of the quota.

Are all these restrictions legal?

Everything is tricky here. Basically, people are not prohibited from doing anything. There are no punitive measures for the fact that a person tries to move into a hotel or eat in a cafe without a vaccination certificate.

Even if mandatory vaccination is announced, vaccination is voluntary. Simply its absence entails a number of inconveniences.

Who will really suffer because of non-compliance with the rules - business: hotels that decide to accommodate you, cafes that let you into the hall. They can be fined up to 500 thousand rubles or suspend the activities of establishments for up to 90 days. It sounds unpleasant. So entrepreneurs are more likely to try to comply with the restrictions. If you consider this a violation of your rights, you can complain, but where? In Rospotrebnadzor, which decides on the need for vaccination?

Moreover, perception largely depends on the angle of view. You can say: "The unvaccinated were banned from going to restaurants." But you can look differently: "The vaccinated were allowed." For example, in the United States, vaccinated people were allowed to walk without masks.

Be that as it may, the main thing is not to confuse disagreement with the authorities' measures to "stimulate" vaccination and the actual need for vaccinations, so as not to inadvertently take the position "to spite my mother, I will frostbite my ears."
