Shopping malls and parks are set to reopen in Moscow on Monday as the Russian capital eases coronavirus restrictions despite having the world's ...
Under lockdown since Mar 30, residents of Europe's most populous city were until now only allowed to leave their homes for brief trips to shop, walk dogs or travel to essential jobs with a permit.
"Regular walks are allowed between 9am and 9pm but no more than three times a week - twice on weekdays and once on a weekend," said Sobyanin on his blog, adding that a detailed schedule would be released separately.Sobyanin said he feared that without limits on walking, people would throng the streets in scenes reminiscent of May Day outpourings in Soviet times.
Popular comedian Maxim Galkin, who has nearly eight million followers on Instagram, released a sketch in which Putin and Sobyanin discuss a"breathing schedule" for Moscow residents.When the restrictions are relaxed, dry-cleaners, laundry services and repair workshops will be allowed to reopen, while restaurants, cafes and cinemas will remain closed for now.
Many critics have also questioned the move to lift the restrictions as Russia reported more than 9,000 new infections on Sunday.
