In the course of the meeting of the Operational Headquarters under the President, they said that the sanitary and epidemiological service approved gradual return to the system of sports facilities, including regarding the holding of events with the participation of spectators. The stands may not be more than one third full and provided that such a seating will provide a 1,5 meter distance between the sports fans. The request of administrations of entertainment facilities such as karaoke is being considered. Specialists of the sanitary and epidemiological station consider it possible to resume their work, but if the number of visitors at one table is limited - no more than four. Another mandatory requirement: the presence of a separate microphone for each such group.
