Moscow will not impose curfew despite rise in coronavirus infections: Mayor
Moscow will not impose a curfew or curb alcohol sales during the New Year holiday, despite a rise in coronavirus cases, the mayor of the Russian capital was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency on Sunday.Russia, which began vaccinating exposed groups in Moscow, a city of nearly 13 million, earlier in December, has resisted imposing a strict lockdown as it did early this year, relying on targeted measures instead."We do not restrict meetings, nor do we declare curfews," Interfax reported, citing the mayor Sergei Sobyanin."Tightening (anti virus restrictions) is only possible when the medical system can no longer cope with the flow of patients. There is no such situation in Moscow.
