At the same time, the number of patients admitted to hospitals in whom the disease is severe has increased by 70%.
According to him, Muscovites relaxed, thinking that the pandemic had already passed.
“COVID has an insidious history, we see how Europe is taking off: a month and a half ago there was a very serious outbreak, and today we have a rise, and a very large one.
It is more than, say, in April-May of that year, when we first encountered this, and has almost reached the December peak, which was at the end of last year.
I am sure that we will win, ”said the mayor.
Over the past day in Russia, the daily increase in cases of coronavirus infection was 14,185. Moscow (6805), Moscow region (1135) and St. Petersburg (902) are leading in terms of the number of detected cases.

“The fight against coronavirus continues and, unfortunately, there is still a risk of being infected.
In recent days, the number of cases has increased again throughout the country.
The disease has not gone anywhere, and there are no guarantees that it will pass in a mild form, ”said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
In turn, Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko said that summer is the most favorable period for increasing the rate of vaccination.
At the same time, the authorities so far note the low rates of the vaccination campaign.
“We probably should all be unhappy with the rate of vaccination, they leave much to be desired.
Vaccination is the only way to stop the coronavirus outbreak and its further spread.
There is no other way to defeat the coronavirus, ”said Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
Meanwhile, 8,597 people were discharged in Russia over the past 24 hours, and over the entire period the number of recovered people reached 4,818,244. 379 patients have died from complications that developed against the background of COVID-19 and concomitant diseases in the last 24 hours.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, since the beginning of the pandemic in the Russian Federation, more than 143.3 million laboratory tests have been carried out for a new type of coronavirus infection, including 253 thousand in the last day.
More than 583 thousand people remain under medical supervision.
The Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare also reported that only mass vaccination will help to finally cope with the COVID-19 epidemic.
“If you do not protect yourself with vaccinations, there will inevitably be massive outbreaks of such diseases.
Not just vaccination, but mass vaccination, which is carried out within a short period of time, when a large pool of protected people is created in the population and the transmission of the virus from person to person stops, can protect against epidemics and pandemics, ”RIA Novosti reports.
In turn, the head of the center.
Gamalei Alexander Gunzburg said that in Russia and, in particular, in Moscow, there are mutations of the coronavirus, and they are now being studied.
"At present, the study of the" Moscow "strain and the effectiveness of" Sputnik V "against it is underway, we think that the vaccine will be effective, but we must wait for the results of the study," said Gunzburg.
