Dear friends,
When we first heard news about a new virus from Wuhan, very few people seriously pay attention to it.
When the city started a real tragedy, come to understand that the world is faced with a terrible new disease. But there were a lot of skeptics who believed that it is not worse than the common cold and we are not at all concerned.
Only after the tide of the pandemic in several European and American cities began to die, and tens of thousands of people and created a humanitarian disaster – skeptics diminished. It’s a full awareness of the upcoming troubles.
We in Moscow have closely followed what is happening in the world. Prepared, took operational decisions, realign the health care system and the organization of urban life.
Before us was three variants of actions. First – with the most severe quarantine and the full stop of life in the city.
the Second – in General to do nothing and leave the residents alone with the virus, disease and death.
And the third is a medium between these extremes. To balance the restrictive measures in order to make the development of the pandemic manageable. To allow businesses and organizations to work but restrict movement in the city. And so we did.

on the other hand, not allow the explosive nature of the pandemic, provided the mass testing and providing medical care to sick citizens. The objective was to protect and save the maximum number of people, especially those from risk groups – the elderly and chronically ill citizens.
concerning restrictive measures there is a lot of debate. Some believe that the townspeople ignored them, running and so on.

in Order not to disrupt the fragile balance and not to return again to the outbreak of the epidemic, and was for this short transition period.
