The Moscow authorities do not intend to introduce a new lockdown in the city due to the increase in the incidence of CORONAVIRUS infection. This was announced to RBC by the head of the department of trade and services, Alexei Nemeryuk.

“Information about plans to introduce a new lockdown in Moscow is not true,” Nemeryuk said.
