In Moscow on Epiphany, on the night of January 19, will extend the work of 35 routes of ground transport until 03:00. This was reported on Friday, January 17, by Deputy Mayor of the capital on transport and industry Maxim Liksutov.

According to him, the work of ground urban transport is extended on the holiday of Epiphany every year. Thus, buses and electric buses, whose routes run near the places of traditional bathing, will run until 03:00.

"On the instructions of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, we provide convenience and comfort of passengers during the festive events," - quoted Liksutov city news agency "Moscow".

In addition, 18 night routes operate in the capital, writes "Moscow 24".

In the capital deptrans urged Muscovites to take a dip in the water only in specially equipped places, where EMERCOM employees are on duty. Going down into an unequipped ice-hole is dangerous to health and life, writes the website kp.ru.

January 16 in the press service of the Ministry of Improvement of the Moscow region reported that the region will equip 195 sites for baptismal bathing. 66 places will be prepared on open water reservoirs, 67 places on the street and 62 fonts will be located indoors, RT writes.

In Moscow, 42 sites in different administrative districts have been prepared for baptismal bathing. Lifeguards will be on duty at these sites during the baptismal bathing. Also this year additional patrolling by hovercrafts will be introduced.

Also on January 16, therapist Lyudmila Lapa warned that people with certain diseases should refrain from diving in cold water. It is especially dangerous for those who have problems with the cardiovascular system, notes 360.ru. Lapa also warned against drinking alcohol before swimming, as it can provoke vasospasm.

On the same day, therapist Svetlana Burnatskaya emphasized that only people who lead an active and healthy lifestyle can participate in baptismal bathing. She explained that the main risk factor is a sharp stress for the body. Immersion in icy water causes a strong spasm of skin vessels, which leads to redistribution of blood flow, writes NSN.
