Russia's ban on entering Russia affects transit flight restrictions

In the past few days, there has been a lot of news about the changes in Russia. First, the early morning suspension. At present, Russia has banned all national personnel from entering the country. It is also impossible to estimate the flights that need to transfer to Russia. Please tell us more about the latest news about Russia.

Russia prohibits all foreigners and stateless citizens from entering Russia. The Russian government announced on Monday that all foreigners and stateless citizens are prohibited from entering Russia from March 18 to May 1 day. At present, there are 93 confirmed cases of pneumonia in COVID-19.

According to the order issued by the Russian government website on the same day, foreigners are temporarily restricted from entering Russia from March 18 to May 1 day. The ban does not apply to drivers, diplomats and foreigners living in Russia for a long time who transport transit goods.

Russian Prime Minister Mishustan said that the restriction on foreigners' entry is only temporary, and it is a decision made by Russia under the special circumstances of the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, which is in line with the recommendations of WHO.

Russia suspended some flights to and from Italy, France, Germany and Spain. Aeroflot, Russia's largest airline, will suspend some flights to and from the four countries from now until April 30th, keeping only flights from Moscow to Rome, Paris, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Madrid and Barcelona, and flights from St. Petersburg to Paris, Berlin, Munich and Barcelona.

In addition, Russian S7 Airlines will suspend all flights between Russia and the four countries from now on, and the date of resumption has not been announced. Russian UTI Airlines will suspend flights from Moscow to Berlin and Milan from now until May 3 1.

Previously, major Russian airlines had restricted Russian flights to and from other countries with serious epidemics.

Russian satellite communication just reported that due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Russian Ministry of Sports cancelled all international sports events in China.

Russia sets up anti-COVID-19 coordination committee. On June 16, the Russian government website announced that Russia had set up a coordination committee to fight against COVID-19 in order to prevent the epidemic from spreading in Russia.

The Committee is headed by Russian Prime Minister Mishustan. Mishustin said at the first meeting of the Coordination Committee for Combating COVID-19 held on the same day that the Committee was established to comprehensively coordinate the anti-epidemic work of the federal and local authorities and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in Russia.

Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Falkov said that the Russian university system has started distance teaching for students.

In addition, according to the order signed by sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow, all primary and secondary schools in Moscow were closed from June 6, 2002 to April 6, 2002, and students were isolated at home.

An incident happened in the morning of 15 local time in Russia, which happened to overseas Chinese returning to Moscow, but it made overseas Chinese who were preparing to return to China feel very confused. On the same day, the flight took off from Rome to Moscow and then flew to Beijing. When boarding, China passengers were stopped and prohibited from boarding. This compatriot has no choice but to return to his Italian residence.

Nowadays, it is one of the few choices for many compatriots to transfer to Russia to return home. Photos circulating on the Internet show that flights to Moscow have become China's "chartered flight". If China is forbidden to transit in Moscow, there will be one less channel for overseas Chinese living in Moscow to return home. To this end, many overseas Chinese who have already purchased tickets are also asking questions according to the Italian Chinese Forum. Can they go back to China after their connecting flight to Moscow? Some netizens said that they had received the ticket purchase notice and would not go to the airport to board the plane. Starting from this month 13, Russia announced that "Italian citizens for study, work, private, tourism and transit visits are temporarily prohibited from entering Russia." At the same time, foreign citizens returning from Italy, except Eurasian Economic Union countries, will also be banned from entering or transiting Russia. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the urgent implementation of the new measures that overseas Chinese in China can no longer return home through Moscow.
