"From November 8, 2021, the mandatory use of QR codes and protective masks is introduced when holding concerts, entertainment, cultural, entertainment, sports and other events with the simultaneous presence of more than 500 people," Sergei Sobyanin said in his blog.
At the end of non-working days, theaters and museums will continue to work with the mandatory use of QR codes, protective masks and a maximum occupancy of 70%.
Also, from November 8, free travel on public transport will be suspended for elderly Muscovites over the age of 60 and chronically ill citizens.
At the same time, "the blocking of social cards will not affect citizens who have had COVID-19 in the last 6 months, or who have been vaccinated," the mayor of Moscow explained.
Earlier, Sobyanin announced the worst-case scenario for the development of the situation with coronavirus in Moscow.
According to him, in the near future, historical peaks in the incidence of the new coronavirus infection will be reached.
