According to Andrey Vorobyov, Governor of the Moscow Region, 80% of those who end up in hospitals with COVID-19 are not vaccinated. At restaurants and places of service in the Moscow region, after the end of non-working days, visits can be introduced using QR codes that are issued to vaccinated and recovered patients. The authorities plan to restart the information campaign to promote vaccination against COVID-19, as the previous one did not achieve its goals, Kommersant reports, citing sources. One of the interlocutors of Kommersant explained that the campaign was carried out too aggressively and negatively, since the main emphasis was placed on the threat of death in case of refusal to vaccinate. Now it is planned to change the vector and emphasize that vaccination will allow a person to live a full life, including going to the movies and studying. The Kremlin denies these data.
