“The requirements for the availability of passes begin to operate on April 15. Since April 13, there is an opportunity to issue them. A citizen on mos.ru will be able to order a pass, indicating the reasons why he needs it. This may be a visit to the clinic, work, care for relatives. If I read this decree correctly, then the procedure is quite simple, convenient and affordable. It will be able to take advantage of all those who really need to move around the city, despite the risks that arise in this case, ”he said.

According to the senator, any steps taken to date, "if not radically prohibitive, are appropriate."

“I fully support this measure. Now the danger is too high for the whole society. We have not yet passed the peak of the epidemic, ”concluded Kosachev.

Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that from April 15, a special digital pass will be required to travel on all types of personal and public transport.

The mayor’s office specified that without a pass, law enforcement officers, judges, journalists, military personnel, lawyers, security guards and other employees who have state-established certificates will be able to move around the city.
