the Russians should not expect that they will be able to spend a vacation abroad until the end of 2020 — too high a risk that the trip fails, said the first Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on social policy Valery Ryazan in an interview with RIA Novosti.
“I would advise the Russians not to risk it this year, do not buy out of the country until the end of this year, the tickets, book hotels”, — quotes Agency the words of Ryazan.
the Senator explained that by 2021 pandemic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is unlikely to allow States to open the border and therefore travel abroad does not seem plausible. However, when the restrictions will be lifted, says Ryazan, travel can do inexpensively. “The interest of hotels abroad will be very high, and there will be a lot of lucrative offers,” he said.
As reported on 30 April, 85 percent of Russians hoped this year to go on holiday, while two thirds of them would like to go abroad.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko advised to Russians to refuse trips abroad in 2020 due to the deterioration of the situation with the spread of the coronavirus. She noted that to cancel a trip abroad for just one year is not a tragedy.
According to the latest data, in Russia there were more than 124 thousand cases of infection with coronavirus. The country 1222 people died in the pandemic, 15 thousands of patients have been cured.
