Foreign students of Russian universities who cannot return to their studies due to closed borders will be helped to return to Russia in the face of a pandemic and current restrictions.

According to the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova, work is now underway to amend the orders of the Russian government regarding the return of foreign students, TASS reports.

Amendments to the documents regulating the entry of foreign citizens are reported in a letter from Anna Popova to the heads of the territorial bodies of the department.
