The Russian capital coped with the COVID-19 pandemic’s challenge better than other cities across the world given fewer restrictions and lockdowns, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said in an interview with Rossiya-1 TV channel on Sunday, TASS reports.
"I believe that we coped no worse than the world cities. And given the fact that we had much fewer restrictions, fewer lockdowns, the economy suffered less, so I think we did even better," Sobyanin said.
According to the mayor, Moscow’s system worked to ensure a normal life in the city and operations of all its fields. "I think Moscow and Moscow citizens, all our city, professional community of medics, social services and transport services - all fields coped decently," he noted.
