The Georgian parliament has officially passed a controversial law on "foreign agents" today in its third and final reading
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation clarified that trade enterprises have the right to refuse service at the checkout to a buyer who does not use personal protective equipment (PPE).

In particular, the clause stating that if a visitor who does not use PPE is found on the territory of a shopping facility, he should be informed of the need to comply with mandatory requirements and the responsibility for violating such a regime, and if the visitor disagrees, the enterprise has the right to refuse him service at the checkout.
The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in its decision explained that the law on the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population imposes on citizens the obligation to comply with the instructions.
