| On Monday, Moscow ramped up its "stay at home" recommendation by making it a mandatory measure for all residents. People in the city are only allowed in the streets in case of absolute necessity. The decree, issued by Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, applies to all age groups. | |
| The change was partially motivated by a large number of people who weren't voluntarily observing social distancing and mistook the week of paid leave, which was ordered by the Russian government, as an opportunity to hang out. An estimated 20 percent of people acted in this way, Sobyanin said. | |
| Two other parts of Russia, Kaliningrad Region and Murmansk Region, followed Moscow's example by imposing a mandatory quarantine on Monday morning while other regions intend to adopt similar measures shortly, in accordance with the advice of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. | |
| Overall, 302 new coronavirus cases have been reported in Russia on Monday, bringing the total number of cases to 1,836, nationwide. | Overall, 302 new coronavirus cases have been reported in Russia on Monday, bringing the total number of cases to 1,836, nationwide. |
