“For citizens of four more countries – Finland, Vietnam, India and Qatar – the restrictions on entry to Russia, imposed due to spread of the coronavirus, are being lifted. The corresponding order was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishutin,” the statement says.

It is specified that citizens of these sates and those who have a residence permit are allowed to enter Russia through air checkpoints. Russian citizens, in turn, can also fly to any of these countries.
