The situation with coronavirus in Moscow is tense, last week there was a peak in the incidence of COVID-19, Deputy Mayor of the city Anastasia Rakova said in an interview with Rossiya 24.
“The situation today is not news for anyone, it is tense. Last week, we, in fact, recorded such a peak in incidence, slightly less than 49,000 newly diagnosed cases, which is equal to the end of last year, ”she said. According to her, the rate of increase in the incidence is slightly decreasing, but the incidence itself continues to grow.
Rakova expressed the hope that the non-working day regime will have an effect and will reduce the rate of morbidity and “thereby allow the medical system not to collapse, not drown and provide all patients with the necessary medical care.”
