“From 03/20/2020 to 03/27/2020, 133,431 Russian citizens returned to the territory of the Russian Federation ...," RIA Novosti quoted the message as saying.

It is noted that, in particular, more than 13.2 thousand people returned from countries with which, against the backdrop of the situation with coronavirus, air traffic was limited or stopped.

Earlier, the Russian embassy in Cairo reported that Russia would send three more planes to Egypt to return its citizens.
