According to him, the situation was stabilized.
“Today we can already say with confidence: we managed to avoid the worst-case scenario that was unfolding in a number of world megacities,” Sobyanin noted.
He added that for a number of key indicators, Moscow already looks good.
“Despite the positive factors, we see that the absolute numbers of identified patients and hospitalizations are still high ... Moreover, the number of deaths from coronavirus in May will be significantly higher than in April. This is obvious, because in April and early May we were at the peak of the incidence rate. And people who were hospitalized at that time, doctors are fighting for them. And most of them save. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the hardest phase of the struggle for the lives of these people will be in May, ”said Sobyanin.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova commented on the mortality rate due to coronavirus infection. According to her, according to the analysis, "a serious increase in mortality rates will be recorded in May."
The day before, another 73 patients with coronavirus infection died in Moscow in a day.
May 20, Sobyanin said that in Moscow hospitals are about 18 thousand people suffering from COVID-19 in serious form.
