Covide-related heightened readiness lifted after five years in Omsk region.
The COVID-19 situation in Omsk, Russia, has been deemed stabilized.
On Monday, May 5, 2025, Governor Vitaliy Khotenko of the Omsk region issued an order to cancel the heightened readiness status for coronavirus.
"Cancelling the heightened readiness status for authorities and forces of the territorial system of the single state system for warning and liquidation of emergency situations in the Omsk region," - the document states.
Let's remind ourselves, the heightened readiness status for coronavirus in the Omsk region had been in effect since 2020. During the past few years, the implementation of this status in the Omsk region predominantly focused on banning mass events, unless they were organized by authorities.
Let's recall that the situation with the spread of coronavirus in Russia has been deemed obsolete on a federal level. For instance, in late March 2025, the governmental operational headquarters ceased to publish weekly data on coronavirus, stating that the situation had normalized and the infection had become a seasonal one. However, it was noted that monitoring of infectious disease spread continues to be conducted by Rospahtrkozor.
The situation in Russia with COVID-19 has been a struggle, with hospitals facing a shortage of beds during peak periods[1]. The Victory Day Parades in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan were cancelled due to the pandemic in recent years, indicating ongoing concerns[3].
