Rospotrebnadzor proposed to create a federal information system of information of a sanitary and epidemiological nature, which will help to quickly identify foreigners infected with an infection that can be dangerous to others, according to the draft government decree published on the portal of legal information. What kind of infections are in question is not specified in the document.
The creation of the system will make it possible to speed up the decision-making on the undesirability of staying such people in the country and their deportation, the department said. The goal of Rospotrebnadzor calls the creation of a single information resource, which will store complete, relevant and reliable information “about the sources of threats and hazards to public health, and sanitary and epidemiological well-being, risk levels in all territories of the country, about the actual situation, including the current one, with the level of infectious morbidity, on measures taken to minimize risks. “
Such a system will help Rospotrebnadzor interact with the Ministry of Health, regional and local authorities. The information system will have several functional modules. It will help form a system of regulatory reference information, collect retrospective data from regional information systems, organize interaction with external information systems of government bodies, develop analytical tools and solve analytical problems, the document says.

In May, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said the authorities had begun building a “powerful sanitary shield.” In early September, the government allocated an additional 2 billion rubles. to combat the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
