Several hundred people have demanded the resignation of North-Ossetian leader Vyacheslav Bitarov and the dissolution of the parliament. The regime of self-isolation is the best way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus infection, Vyacheslav Bitarov has explained to the people who gathered in the streets. The leader of North Ossetia left the square, being accompanied with whistles and shouts "Resign!"
