In Russia, the rules for the use of beaches have come into force, according to which bathing places must have designated boundaries. This was reported by RIA Novosti citing the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
“It is obligatory to mark the border of the swim in the swimming areas, as well as the presence of an act of diving survey of the beach bottom in the places established for swimming and the absence of rental points for small boats, jet skis and other floating facilities that pose a threat to the life and health of vacationers and swimmers”, – told the agency in the department.
Also, henceforth, the presence and manning of rescue posts will be checked on the beaches. In addition, from 2021 there will be a transition from issuing permits for the use of beaches to declaring them at the initiative of copyright holders.
From January 1, 2021, Russians are also expected to changes in the social sphere, including the indexation of pensions, an increase in the minimum wage and mass vaccination against coronavirus. Also, according to the law adopted in the fall of 2020, in the new year the excise rates on tobacco products will be raised significantly higher than inflation – by 20 percent.
