The State Department recommended them to take health problems created by the atmospheric pollution into consideration.

A wildfire smoke forced air line companies to cancel flights. The warning will be in force until September 5.

Germany’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued similar warning. It recommended to German citizens to avoid traveling to Russian dangerous regions during wildfire if there is no immediate need. The German embassy in Moscow suspended its work. Only staff members on duty will work on these days.

The chief sanitary inspector of Moscow Gennady Onishenko recommended to the Moscow residents to leave the city for several days due toxic smoke and heat.
