Thus, since the beginning of the pandemic in Moscow, 1,513,892 cases of coronavirus infection have been detected, of which 1,370,145 people have recovered. The total number of deaths is 25,850.

A sharp increase in the number of cases of coronavirus infection was recorded in the capital in June. Sobyanin explained the jump in the incidence in the capital by the spread of the Indian strain of the delta coronavirus, which is more contagious.

Against the backdrop of an increase in the number of cases, the city authorities introduced new restrictions, including a system of QR codes, which could only be obtained after vaccination or as a result of a previous illness. Without QR codes, it was impossible to get into catering establishments and mass events with more than 500 people. A month later, Sobyanin canceled the QR code system, saying that the measure worked and the incidence began to decline.
