Retailers are not allowed to block the entrance to the people without means of defense, but in the end risk getting a fine.
Retailers will face fines for the rebellious Russians who do not comply with the mask mode. Stores can’t close so buyers entrance, but will be responsible if people without means of protection notice of regulatory authorities. This “Izvestia” said the Association of retail companies (ACORT). The CPS has the right to fine the store, or to suspend its work for 90 days for careless buyers, according to the consumers Union. Retailers suggested that the authorities in the first phase to involve in the shops of police officers, which will help to monitor compliance with mask mode. But experts believe that will solve the problem of free distribution of means of protection in public places.
Retailers have asked the state to help with enforcement of the new mask mode, told “Izvestia” press-Secretary ACORT Ilya Vlasenko. According to estimates of the networks, it is put into the 32 regions, in some regions mandatory not only masks, but gloves. Consolidation of the shops, for example, the police or asguardian — at least in the initial stage will allow us to monitor compliance with the new requirements, and quickly resolve conflicts. The issue has already been discussed at the joint meetings of the networks with the authorities, but a final decision on it is pending, said Ilya Vlasenko.
In terms of the spread of coronavirus and control of the trading network faced with the risk of fines from the Federal service for the fact that the buyers do not wear masks in the stores. The HSE said that a special mode of prevention COVID-19 provides for their compulsory use in public places.
— the Trading network can remind the buyer about the need to adhere to the regime, to offer to buy the mask, are established sanitizers and respect the social distance. If the consumer is in breach of the rules, the store has the right to address in law enforcement bodies for attraction of the buyer to liability, including — transfer the recording video camera internal observation, — said Ilya Vlasenko.
the Presence in retail outlets of the authorities can remove the contradiction which has arisen, according to the Association.
the Chairman of consumers Union Peter Shelishch has confirmed in conversation with “News” that the trade networks there is no right not to let the someone into a store — it can only be done by a police officer. Employees of the retailer have the right to refuse to serve a consumer without a mask at the checkout, although no point in this: if the buyer is contagious, then it’s already done its dirty deed.
Reason dLa punishment of retailers gives you a new article 20.6.1 of the administrative code (“violation of the rules of conduct in emergency situations or the threat of its occurrence”). The fine for legal persons up to 300 thousand roubles, at repeated infringement — 1 million rubles, it is also possible to suspend activities for up to three months.
Pyotr Shelishch noted that this problem can be solved if legally oblige the company to issue masks and gloves to customers for free.
Ilya Vlasenko noted that the companies do not have the financial capacity to provide millions of Russians with masks: this is a significant burden, he said. The HSE reminded that no country in the world has introduced such a practice. Although in some States, the authorities issued one-time masks, they were purchased with funds from the state budget. Thus, in France, the citizens were given a 10 million masks, in new York, 7.5 million masks.
the Lawyer, the head of the GR-practices BMS Law Firm Dmitry lesniak recalled that the mask needs to be changed a maximum of every 3-4 hours or preferably every two hours. Thus, for a person who is forced all day to move around the city, it is quite a significant cost. And if people used to spend on masks to protect themselves, now it is also a duty prescribed by law, for the violation of which they face a fine. In Moscow its size is 4 thousand rubles. Each region where the put a mask mode, to decide whether or not to set penalties for violations.
press service of the CPS not explained whether commercial networks in some regions will face fines for negligent buyers. The initiatives outlined in the decree of the mayor of Moscow, commented press service the mayor of the capital or operational headquarters of Moscow, the Ministry said. With regard to sanctions for citizens to use them can only the police, said in Rospotrebnadzor. The Moscow mayor’s office on requests at the time of publication has not responded. “Izvestia” also sent a request to the interior Ministry and Resguardo.
the Ministry of industry and trade at the request of “Izvestia” is not answered, but on 14 may, the Ministry reported that prepared guidelines on how to comfortably organize work to comply with the population mask mode in retail stores. The document is directed to the regions, Rospotrebnadzor, Ministry of interior and Resguardo.
the store has the right and is obliged not to release the offender product, that is not to serve it at the checkout. Force to put on the mask of the buyer, the store employee can not and should not. In case of disagreement the visitor to fulfill such requirements the administration of the store, without conflicting with the offender, has the right to call representatives of the internal Affairs bodies to prevent violations. The rest is the work of law enforcement��’s and Supervisory authorities, — explained in the Ministry of industry and trade.
If the store has taken these measures, to bring him to justice is impossible, said the Agency.
