Yandex, sometimes referred to as"Russia's Google," offers a wide array of online services including an internet search engine, taxi reservations and food deliveries.Its new service will allow Muscovites over the age of 65 to order a coronavirus test to be carried out by a medical professional at home.
Yandex said the tests would be made available to people in other age groups and regions when more laboratories begin testing for the novel coronavirus.Moscow this week introduced a digital travel permit system to help it police a lockdown meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The measure initially created traffic jams and long queues of people wanting to use the metro.
