The Russian capital, Moscow, has recorded the highest number of new daily infections with the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19) since the end of last June, which raises fears of a second wave in the fourth most affected countries by the epidemic.

The number of daily new cases was relatively stable in Moscow for more than two months, at 600 to 700 injuries, but this number began to rise as of September 15, and Moscow recorded, yesterday, 1050 new cases, the highest increase since June 23.

The Moscow municipality authorities stated that this increase is due to an increase in the number of examinations that are conducted from 40,000 to 60,000 daily.

She emphasized that the inspection systems have become more accurate in detecting the infection, and also indicated greater use of public transport and greater crowding in public places before the start of the school year in schools and universities, and the return of seasonal workers to Moscow.

According to the municipality, the situation remains "under control", with 60% of hospital beds vacant, and medicine and medical equipment reserves available to cope with any possible scenario.

Last week, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said: “It's not over.

The epidemic is still spreading.

We see how difficult things are in European countries, where an acceleration in the spread of the epidemic has begun.

In Moscow, the situation is different », calling on employers to encourage remote work.

In the last 24 hours, Russia recorded 6595 new cases out of a total of 1128836 injuries and 19,948 deaths.

The largest number of cases was recorded in the capital, Moscow, and St. Petersburg, the second city in the country.

And the Russian authorities imposed isolation measures throughout the spring, especially in Moscow, the epicenter of the epidemic.

The measures were lifted in early June in the capital and in other areas, according to the situation there.

The borders that were closed at the end of March have only reopened to a few countries.
