No positive changes in the situation with the CORONAVIRUS can be expected in Moscow either today or in the near future. This was announced on the air of the Moscow 24 TV channel by the vice-mayor of the capital Anastasia Rakova.

“Measures will be introduced in full only from October 28, therefore, of course, no positive changes can be expected either today or in the near future,” Rakova said.

The day before, Rakova said that over the past month, the incidence of coronavirus infection covid-19 in Moscow has almost quadrupled, and the number of hospitalizations of patients has tripled.

Despite the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of non-working days from October 30, the Moscow authorities decided to introduce them from the 28th. According to Rakova, this was done to prevent the spread of the delta strain of coronavirus. In addition, a lockdown will be introduced in the capital during non-working days. Only pharmacies and grocery stores will be open in Moscow.
