| ‘You should not leave your home’: Moscow mayor issues strict Covid-19 pandemic advisory, stopping short of total lockdown | |
| (32 minutes later) | |
| Moscow, where the number of Covid-19 cases now exceeds 1,000, has introduced a self-isolation regime for all citizens, no matter their age, with people only allowed to leave their home in case of bare necessity. | |
| Under new rules, Muscovites would only be allowed to go outside if they’re seeking urgent medical help, face a real threat to their life or health, need to make purchase of the most essential products in a nearby shop, or throw out trash. | |
| The measures, which come into force on Monday, allow pet owners to walk their dogs, but this should be done no further than 100 meters from their homes. | |
| The exception is also made for the employees of organizations which have to keep operating despite the pandemic. They’ll be able to go to work and come back home freely. | |
| But Sunday's measures will soon be further ramped up: the mayor said special permits will be introduced “in the coming days,” without which residents won’t be allowed to leave their homes. | |
| To enforce the self-isolation regime, a smart system to monitor the movement of people around the city will become operational in a week’s time, the document said. | |
| “We’ll be tightening the controls necessary in the current situation gradually, but steadily,” the mayor’s decree read. | |
