City Hall: The prevalence of the "delta" headquarters COVID-19 in Moscow reached 100%

We are conducting a continuous study of the SARS-Cov-2 genome to understand what kind of virus we are dealing with... Throughout the summer, a weekly study of the structure of coronavirus strains in the capital took place on the basis of the center of Gamalei. As part of it, it was determined that in Moscow at present 100% is dominated by the "delta" stammum of coronavirus, "RIA Novosti quoted her as saying. |
She noted that a special grant has been allocated for genome sequencing research. The authorities plan to continue the study in cooperation with the Gamalei Center and the Depzdrav Moscow Laboratory Research Center, the deputy mayor added.
The "delta" strain of coronavirus has spread widely in Russia due to its better ability to infect people than its predecessors. Nevertheless, it is possible that it will be supplanted by the "mu" -stam, which knows how to circumvent postvaccinal and postvaccinal immunity, the virologist Alexander Chepurnov believes.
The main advantage of the delta is that it infects much better. To this was added human material, which was inaccessible to the Wuhan version, "he said. |
According to him, the "delta," unlike its predecessors, constructed an antigenic determinant that can better attach to receptors. The virus has become more "sticky," the process of attaching to the cell has become much easier for it.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, by mid-September 2021, throughout Russia, about 95% of infections with COVID-19 coronavirus are in the delta strain[3]%

From September 1 to 22, 2021, more than 27 thousand violations of the mask regime were revealed, and from May 2020 - more than 500 thousand. About 1,500 violators of the mask regime are identified in Moscow transport every day, Vladislav Sultanov said.

{{quote 'When we first heard the news about the new virus from Wuhan, few seriously drew attention to it.
When the real tragedy began in this city, it came to the realization that the world was faced with a new terrible disease. But there were many skeptics who believed that this was no worse than the usual cold and this does not concern us at all.
Only after tens of thousands of residents began to die in the wake of the pandemic in a number of European and American cities and a humanitarian catastrophe broke out did skeptics decline. There is a complete awareness of the impending trouble.
We in Moscow carefully watched what was happening in the world. They prepared, made operational decisions, rebuilt the health system and the organization of urban life.
We had three options before us. The first - with the most cruel quarantine and a complete stop in life in the city.
The second is to do nothing at all and leave residents alone with the virus, diseases and death.
And the third is the average between these extremes. Balance restrictive measures to make pandemic development manageable. Allow most enterprises and organizations to work, but at the same time partially limit movement around the city. That's what we did.
On the one hand, they retained the functioning of system-forming organizations, continued to perform the functions of the administrative, financial, transport center of the country, and retained work for most citizens.
On the other hand, they did not allow the explosive nature of the pandemic, provided mass testing and medical care for sick citizens. The task was to protect and save the maximum number of people, especially from at-risk groups - elderly and chronically ill citizens.
There is much debate about restrictive measures. Some believe that the townspeople ignored them, did not fulfill them and more.
Of course, in a twenty-million agglomeration, you can find a variety of examples of behavior. But there is "big data" that fairly objectively show the real situation. There are data from mobile operators that allow you to build indices of population activity, including in comparison with other cities.
The vast majority of Muscovites responsibly complied with recommendations and restrictive requirements. As a result of common efforts - both doctors and citizens - we managed to pass disasters, and successively - day after day - begin to defeat coronavirus.
For weeks now, slowly but surely, the pandemic has been on the decline. The number of new infections is decreasing, more people are discharged from hospitals than are again admitted to beds.
All this allows you to move step by step to a normal life.}}

Moscow will restrict entry into the city
The metropolitan authorities decided to partially limit entry to Moscow. On the night of Saturday, April 11, two traffic police cars will be delivered for each exit from the city, the BBC found out. There is no command to "directly close" the city, but road inspectors will begin to collect data from drivers entering from the regions. They will begin to deploy part of the cars at the entrance to the capital, and drivers who ask "many questions" will write protocols on administrative violation[1]
The fact that transport from the regions at the entrance to the capital will begin to unfold, a source close to the Ministry of Internal Affairs told the BBC Russian service. This information was confirmed by the interlocutor of the BBC, familiar with the details of the orders to the traffic police of the capital. Two traffic police cars will stand at all departures and entrances to the city, the second source noted. Both interlocutors of the BBC asked for anonymity, since they were not authorized to openly comment on the situation in the media.
According to a source close to the traffic police, traffic patrol posts will deploy cars from the regions at the entrance to the capital. Drivers who will be stopped by inspectors will begin to clarify the reasons for the violation of self-isolation. The traffic police ordered their employees to refer to the decree of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, which spelled out restrictive measures in connection with the epidemic.
"Gaitsy" will record the passport data of drivers, take photos and videos, draw up protocols and reports. They will send these data to the district police departments and Rospotrebnadzor.
"The crew has been brought to the scheme of registration of citizens and instructions. Those who will be indignant and ask many questions are recommended to make "disobedience" in the protocol, a source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed to the BBC, citing an order to strengthen control at the entrances.
The Center for Traffic Management of the Moscow Government did not receive any instructions on this matter, the head of the data center Alexander Evsin told the BBC. The BBC sent a request to the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the city of Moscow.
The traffic police order to restrict entry into the city was received against the background of a speech on Friday, April 10, by Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. He announced the introduction of a pass regime in the capital.
"So that the traffic police has such an opportunity [to stop cars at the entrance to the city. - BBC], a quarantine regime should be established in the city, that is, Sobyanin should issue a decree that quarantine is established on such and such territory, for example, within the Moscow Ring Road, "Pyotr Shkumatov, coordinator of the Blue Bucket Society movement, told the BBC. In his opinion, what the mayor stated in the decree regarding self-isolation and restriction of movement, "from the point of view of the law, is a recommendation."
"In addition, if the police check the entire flow at all congresses with the Moscow Ring Road, there will be a dead traffic jam," he added. Shkumatov suggests that the "traffic cops" will stand on the road from the city and selectively brake cars.
The Government of the Russian Federation approved an agreement between the Moscow City Hall and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on drawing up protocols for violators of the self-isolation regime in the capital
The Government of the Russian Federation approved on April 9 an agreement between the Moscow City Hall and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on drawing up protocols for violators of the self-isolation regime in the capital, Kommersant reports.
The document was signed by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, as well as Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev on April 4, 2020. The document refers to the transfer of part of the powers to draw up protocols on administrative offenses that infringe on public order and public safety, provided for by the law of the city of Moscow of November 21, 2007.
One of the obstacles to signing the document was a large number of "regional" compositions of administrative offenses, which did not in all cases correspond to the practice of the police as a federal department.
As a result, the metropolitan police in the conditions of the spread of coronavirus was in a difficult situation. On the one hand, representatives of the law enforcement agency have the opportunity to bring individuals to administrative responsibility for an offense under Art. 6.3 Administrative Code (violation of legislation in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population), or violators of Art. 19.3 Administrative Code (disobedience to the legal order of a police officer).
The fines imposed by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin for violating the rules of isolation were legally semi-legitimate just because of the lack of an agreement between the mayor's office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now this legal gap has been eliminated - Moscow police have the right to draw up protocols on the facts of violations listed in the decrees of the mayor of the capital.

Muscovites will be set up total surveillance during quarantine
The Moscow authorities are going to launch a system in Moscow to track the movements of Muscovites during the quarantine world due to the coronavirus pandemic. The system will recognize people by their faces, which will help identify violators of strict restrictive peace established in the Russian capital.
According to Kommersant, the equipment for the system is fully purchased, but its deployment will require additional time. The deadlines for the final launch of the surveillance system for Muscovites and guests of the capital have not been established - this will take several more weeks.
The authorities Moscow follow the example of a number of countries, Europe as well as Taiwan and, China where face identification algorithms are already used to search for quarantine violators. In this case, the system will be built on the basis of the company's technology NtechLab[3]
Main article:
- How the city's video surveillance and facial recognition system is arranged in Moscow
- How the facial recognition system is arranged in Moscow
At the first stage of the deployment of the system, photographs of people who previously violated the quarantine, as well as all residents and guests of Moscow who carry the disease in a mild form and at the same time voluntarily self-insulated at home, will be included in its database. At the same time, she will be able to track suspicious activity in the entrances of apartment buildings.
System, according to an employee of the Moscow City Hall. will be combined with an array of city surveillance cameras, of which there are about 178 thousand in Moscow, and by the end of 2020 another 9,000 cameras will be added to them. All of them are located on the streets, in yards, shops, parks, in the entrances of residential buildings, schools and crowded places. According to RBC, as of March 18, 2020, the system helped identify over 200 violators of the quarantine announced in the capital.
For more accurate control over the movements of Muscovites, the metropolitan authorities plan to attract mobile operators who will share data on the location of their subscribers. In China, the information collected by such a system is supplemented by data from thermal imagers.
System Capabilities The system will be able to constantly monitor those who have already violated the quarantine. The system will identify Muscovites by face even if masks are worn on them - it will be able to recognize the face, even if it is hidden by 40%.
According to the source, the Kommersant system is most likely to track only violators of quarantine and self-isolated - the rest of Muscovites are not threatened with total surveillance, he said. "The city has no problems in terms of capacity and technical component, but it will be unreasonable in terms of incident response," he said.
In addition, the system will be able to monitor individual areas for complete quarantine - for example, it can be taught to monitor an individual house and even an entrance and send notifications whenever there is any movement at the entrance to it.
At the same time, according to the source, the capabilities of the system will initially be used only partially. "Most of the work on tracking quarantine violators will have to be done manually," he said. This is due to the fact that it will take some time to fully deploy it.
