Russian authorities ask compatriots not to leave the resort areas of Egypt

Representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry ask Russians not to leave the resort areas of Egypt, where the military seized power.

“We believe it is necessary to confirm the recommendations of the Russian Foreign Ministry to Russian citizens in Egypt to avoid areas of mass protests and social tension, and those who arrived in this country for tourist purposes to take into account the development of the situation in general and refrain from traveling outside the resort areas,” the document says.

Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the situation in the resort areas of Egypt remains calm, all resort facilities operate normally.

Against the rest in Egypt, which to this day remains a favorite tourist destination of Russians, spoke and the chief sanitary doctor of Russia Gennady Onishchenko.

“Definitely not to go, given the political situation there. The military took power, changed the constitution. So not Egypt, he said.

He also voiced a categorical statement “it is better not to go anywhere”, because, in his opinion, “resting from the Moscow heat in Egypt or at the equator sounds strange.” The head of Rospotrebnadzor compared it with hide-and-seek "winter from the 30-degree Moscow frost in Antarctica." According to Onishchenko, you need to rest in the climatic zone, which is characteristic of permanent residence.

It is better for us in the middle zone, for Dagestanis in Dagestan, for Siberians in Siberia.

“All other things being equal, it is better to be outside the city. You should be aware of the risks associated with ticks, staying in the open sun. In hot weather, moderation is needed in everything - both in load and in food, he added.
