Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said about the inadmissibility of overlapping borders in the regions

The head of the Russian government Mikhail Mishustin at a government meeting said about the inadmissibility of overlapping administrative borders in certain regions. He noted that the federal government's signals over the weekend were heard.

According to the Prime Minister, President Vladimir Putin gave the regions additional powers to combat the spread of coronavirus infection, but they must be adequate to the situation and measures introduced by the central authorities.

The prime minister criticized regional leaders who impede the work of delivery services, stop trucks at the entrance to the regions, interfere with couriers and close the points of issuing orders. “It is simply unacceptable to complicate the work of online trading by unreasonable prohibitions. It is necessary to establish clear and reasonable rules for the companies that are currently doing this business.”

The first region, which completely closed the administrative borders, was the Chechen Republic, it was forbidden to enter on April 5. In the Chelyabinsk region began to let trucks with basic necessities and cars, whose drivers on paper proved that they are in transit. In Udmurtia promised to establish checkpoints and pay special attention to transport from neighboring regions. In Sevastopol for a few days put checkpoints.
