RUSSIA IS INTRODUCING A nationwide mask mandate as coronavirus cases across the country surge.

Rospotrebnadzor, Russia's health and consumer rights regulator, announced Tuesday that people everywhere in Russia must wear face coverings in public spaces, on public transportation, in parking lots and in elevators.

The agency also limited opening hours for entertainment venues, including bars and restaurants. The venues will only be allowed to operate from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popovaza, told state media RIA Novosti, "If we do not cope with this phase, then we will talk about additional restrictions."
