“The number of hospitalized with pneumonia this week has increased by 70%, so to say now that we now have some kind of decrease or improvement in dynamics, alas, we can’t do it,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying on the TV channel “Russia 1".

According to Cancer, more than 20 thousand beds are occupied for patients with coronavirus.

It is expected that within a few days the bed capacity will increase to 27-28 thousand.

Earlier, the head of the capital’s Main Control Department, Yevgeny Danchikov, said that the phased lifting of restrictions imposed in Moscow due to the spread of coronavirus infection is possible only if there is a positive trend in the number of new infections.
