“The media reported that allegedly according to the Department of Education, on September 20, Moscow will again introduce an isolation regime,” RIA Novosti reports.

The department called this message provocative and untrue.

“The department did not give any instructions on working in isolation mode in September,” they added.

As noted, currently in Moscow, on the contrary, restrictions are gradually being lifted.

“From June 23, Moscow kindergartens resume work as usual,” the department added.

The department recalled that also from July 3 throughout the country in full-time format the Unified State Examination will start, and it is planned to start the new school year in schools in the familiar format.

Earlier, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin noted that the remaining restrictions in the capital would be lifted no earlier than mid-July. 

The doctor of medical sciences, virologist Anatoly Altstein, assessed in a conversation with NSN the likelihood of a second wave of COVID-19 in Russia.

As Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova noted, the second wave of coronavirus in Russia can be avoided if security measures are followed.
