Due to the spread of coronavirus infection, the borders between the countries were closed in a timely manner. However, countries are gradually beginning to soften travel precautions.
For example, recently those Russians who have either a second citizenship or a residence permit in another country were allowed to leave the state. Mikhail Mishustin, who is the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, signed a corresponding decree. This document has already been posted on the website of the government of the Russian Federation, where you can familiarize yourself with it.
Traveling abroad is not allowed in unlimited quantities. You are allowed to leave the country only once. However, this is still progress, because earlier, when restrictions were only introduced, only foreigners were allowed to leave Russia. The resolution has not yet specified how long this measure will function.
They banned foreigners and people who do not have Russian citizenship from entering Russia back in March. On March 27, regular and charter flights with other states were terminated. There are also exceptions established by the government of the Russian Federation. These include export flights, ambulance, postal and humanitarian flights. In the future, even the number of export flights was reduced, a limit was set on the number of passengers on board the vehicle.
