"Food courts start working on January 15, restrictions related to the work hours of public catering outlets cancelled. We change over to the previous working conditions," S. Aksyonov said.  

But at the same time, other requirements of Rospotrebnadzor (Russian Federal Consumer Protection Authority), such as mandatory mask wearing, social distancing and the arrangement of tables in catering outlets remain, the Head of the region emphasized.  

Previously the work of food courts and food zones in shopping centers in Crimea was banned from December 20, and the work of catering establishments at night hours was also limited.
