Sobyanin is confident in the need to minimize all movements within the city. We've to recall that starting from today severe fines have been introduced in the city for warriors who violated the regime of self-isolation.

He also recall that it is too early to talk about the peak incidence in Moscow.

“I tell you for sure that no peak has yet arrived, we are more likely at the foot of this peak, not even in the middle,” said Sergei Sobyanin.
