Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that with the introduction of QR codes in transport and public places in the country, a transitional period will be announced, valid until February 1, 2022.
Drafts of amendments concerning the use of QR codes have been submitted to the State Duma. Russians who have a QR code and who are vaccinated or have been ill with COVID-19 will have the opportunity to attend mass events, cultural organizations, cafes and restaurants, as well as retail outlets. Also, the bill provides for the possibility of being in public places for people who have a medical withdrawal from vaccination. A negative PCR test can also be presented before February 1. The innovations do not apply to pharmacies and stores where essential goods are sold, added in the Cabinet.
For Russian military personnel and persons equated to them, a special document will be introduced on vaccination against coronavirus, a past disease or the presence of contraindications to vaccination, which they will be able to present instead of QR codes. Until February 1, the military, like other citizens, will be able to present negative PCR test results instead of QR codes.

Thus, the total number of infections since the beginning of the pandemic reached 8 992 595.
Coronavirus infection in children and adolescents
According to Golikova, the introduction of measures on QR codes due to the spread of COVID-19 applies to citizens over 18 years old and will not affect children and adolescents. In addition, she expects that in Russia it will be possible to achieve herd immunity from 80 percent until the summer of 2022.
Microbiologist, scientific leaders of the Mechnikov Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vitaly Zverev, in turn, believes that children do not need vaccinations against coronavirus infection and urged to completely abandon their vaccination in the country.
Children should be left alone. Yes, children get sick and die. But such children who die cannot be vaccinated with anything or anything at all. These are children with “severe chronicity”, with impaired health. Such children should be protected and treated correctly
