Answering a question about the risks of returning some of the prohibitions, Vujnovic said: “that if the physical distance is not respected, and with this number it is possible, if cases start to grow, there simply will not be another way.”

She noted that the risk of returning restrictions would remain until the advent of a vaccine or drug against COVID-19.

Earlier, the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, said that Moscow had gone through all the peaks of coronavirus infection and after the removal of restrictions, the number of new cases of COVID-19, as well as the number of hospitalized and severe patients, continued to decrease.
