It is noted that on any of the New Year's days off Moscow turns out to be practically empty, and social contacts decline naturally.
Onishchenko also believes that if residents adhere to the mask and glove regime, this could help reduce the incidence of COVID-19.
He also said that of the festive events, only New Year's fireworks should be left.
Onishchenko added that it is necessary to prevent mass festivities of young people on Red Square so that the virus does not spread.
Earlier, Onishchenko said that the long New Year's weekend negatively affects the Russian economy, and it is advisable to refuse them.
