Decrease in the incidence of COVID-19 among Pridnestrovians was noted during the meeting of the Operational Headquarters under the President. If an average daily rate of 143 cases was stated at the previous meeting, then the average statistical data of the last days is 118 detected facts of infection per day. The hospital network is less than half loaded. Branches of COVID hospitals on the basis of the Tirotex dispensary and the outpatient clinic of the Parkany village are being conserved. Patients completing the course of treatment there will be discharged today and tomorrow, and a comprehensive disinfection of facilities will be carried out. The hospital in Grigoriopol stopped receiving infected citizens. Residents of the district who are sick with coronavirus will be sent to Dubossary. If the dynamics of the decrease in the incidence continues, the next will return to their usual work the capital's hospital of veterans and the Center for Mother and Child in Bendery. Vadim Krasnoselsky recalled that all facilities excluded from the network of coronavirus hospitals should be ready to immediately resume anti-coronavirus activities in the event of a worsening epidemiological situation. The President emphasized at the same time that it is unacceptable to maintain an unreasonably increased bed fund.
The meeting participants discussed the issue of returning public catering establishments to work in the mode that was in force before the onset of the third wave of the spread of coronavirus. Members of the Operational Headquarters agreed that cafes and restaurants can receive visitors after 22:00. In addition, the standard schedule has been resumed for stores, including 24/7.
The academic year has been officially extended by one week and will end not on May 25, but on May 31. There was a request from teachers and parents of primary school students to return to full-time studies. The Ministry of Education proposes to return junior schoolchildren to their desks from May 12. The decision will be made at the next meeting of the Operational Headquarters.
Another topic of the working discussion is the heating season. It was decided that it will end on May 6.
With regard to Easter services, there are two options for organizing. It is possible to conduct divine services with participation of parishioners in the courtyards of churches or inside, but with the direct participation of exclusively clergymen (audio accompaniment of the service will be provided with the help of sound amplifying equipment for citizens outdoor). Compliance with the mask mode is recommended in both cases.
