A site that offers courier delivery of medical documents or promises to issue certificates without examination, and vaccination certificates without vaccination will also be considered a violator.
From the beginning of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 to the end of November 2021, Roskomnadzor removed and blocked 5504 resources with information about the sale of fake certificates about the absence of coronavirus, vaccination certificates, as well as generating fake QR codes.
According to Part 1 of Art. 15.3 of the Law "On Information"..., if false data are found on the Internet that pose a threat to life and health, the citizen himself, authorities, local governments and organizations can send a notification to the prosecutor's office. After that, the Prosecutor General or his deputy has the right to apply to Roskomnadzor with a demand to restrict access to the Internet resource.
