In view of the sharp increase in the number of infections with the corona virus, Moscow mayor Sergej Sobyanin has ordered a curfew for seniors.
From next Monday, residents over 65 years of age should stay at home and go shopping as infrequently as possible, Sobjanin said. However, walks are still allowed. The mayor called on employers to enable their employees to work from home.
On Tuesday, Moscow reported the highest increase since the end of June with more than 1,000 new infections within 24 hours. There is a "serious" increase in hospital admissions, said Sobyanin.
In view of the approaching winter, the mayor warned that elderly and chronically ill people would find it particularly dangerous if they contracted a common cold and the coronavirus at the same time. Therefore, this population group should stay at home.
Sobyanin warned Muscovites to wear protective masks and gloves when shopping and on public transport - a regulation that has so far been often not followed.
