“No matter how difficult it is to make such a decision, today I signed a ruling that extends until May 11, 2020 (inclusively) all restrictions in force in Moscow,” Sobyanin’s website says.

Earlier, during a meeting on coronavirus with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Sobyanin said that in the Moscow region it is necessary to extend the regime of self-isolation. 

The president at the beginning of the meeting announced that the period of non-working days in the country would last until May 11.
