Moscow remains by far the biggest Russian coronavirus outbreak despite having introduced timely measures to contain the spread of the virus. City officials said stay-at-home restrictions would remain in place beyond May 12. Even though some businesses are allowed to resume operations, employees must obey extra safety rules, municipal officials said.
Russia confirmed roughly 10,000 new coronavirus infections on May 8 and nearly 100 new victims of the novel virus. There have been 187,859 cases of coronavirus infections reported in Russia so far and 1,723 deaths. As for now, Russia is unlikely to past the apex of coronavirus infections. Moscow is now the epicenter of the nationwide outbreak with more than half of the country’s total positive tests, and roughly 1,000 extra cases recorded right outside the capital. The capital has seen most deaths within the past twenty-four hours, too.
