Moscow's experience in curbing the epidemic spread of the virus will change the trend in Russia

Almost half of the Russian regions, due to the threat of the spread of coronavirus, have today decided to introduce additional restrictive measures for citizens, following the example of Moscow and the Moscow region. That is, they introduced a regime of complete self-isolation for residents of all ages. Top recommendation for locals – do not leave your home unnecessarily, and exits to the street are strictly regulated.

So, You can leave your home to go to the pharmacy or grocery store. It is also allowed to go out for an emergency visit to the doctor or in case of a life threat. Dog walking is regulated - in radius 100 meters from the place of residence. Besides, it is not forbidden to take out garbage. A separate category - workers, which specificity does not allow to switch to mode “long weekend” or to remote mode.

“Moscow is a huge agglomeration, hub, through which an unimaginable stream of automobile, railway and air transport, – According to the expert. - Therefore it is not surprising, that the capital of the epidemic took the first blow. After some time, it became clear, that coronavirus is very easily transmitted between carriers, and therefore, through Moscow, it will inevitably spread in the regions.

Emergency measures to counter the epidemic in Moscow began to take, even when coronavirus was perceived by the whole world as an informational, meaningless horror story. The result of these measures will become apparent., if you compare the number of cases in Russia with Italy or the United States - the result is not comparable in scale. Moscow promptly developed and implemented a whole protocol of events, to effectively contain the epidemic.

undoubtedly, metropolitan city hall in this work helped the federal health system, including those focused on biological protection. In order to create barriers to infection in the largest city of Russia, the Ministry of Emergencies and the army were involved, which allowed taking into account all the risks and scenarios of the spread of the virus. And Moscow, by its own experience, has already proved the effectiveness of this protocol, that is why it is massively introduced in other regions of the country”.

Regions themselves assess the situation and risks

One of the first to use the Moscow scenario of self-isolation of the population is St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region - today only grocery stores work there, pharmacies, utilities and transportation. Soon, the same regime introduced a number of other areas, among them Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, Rostov. In parallel, the Komi Republic began to switch to restrictions, Mari El, Mordovia, Bashkiria, Tatarstan, Chuvashia, Adygea.

However, more than half of the regions did not fully implement the Moscow protocol., and apply it partially. Some entities closed non-food stores, others restricted visits to potentially dangerous areas. Over the last day in Russia, they became infected with a new type of coronavirus 500 human, the total number reached 2,3 thousands. Died in total 17 Russians, over 120 in the lists of recovered.

“what, in my opinion, important - from Moscow there were no directives to tighten the antiepidemiological regimen as much as possible. That is, each subject assesses the situation individually, applying only to him relevant measures from the general protocol. This is important from the point of view of federalism - the governor knows the territorial features, economic and transport in the territory entrusted to him.

At the same time, Russia did not fully engage the Chinese experience - in China, the restrictions were much tougher, and most importantly, they introduced digital tracing. Each person was assigned a QR code, which downloaded to the phone. When reading this code, the police received complete information about, where has the individual been and what is his risk of becoming infected. Russia, perhaps, will come to this, but so far there are not many sick, to deploy such measures.

The experience worked out in Moscow should, in a week and a half, translate the now growing incidence curve across the country into a plane on the graph, and subsequently show the recession of the epidemic. But in any case, measures developed by the team of the mayor Sergei Sobyanin are already a huge experience not only for Russia, but also for other countries”, – concludes Marat Bashirov.
