In his blog, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that he made changes to the decree on restrictions on movement in connection with coronavirus, adopted on March 5. Now Muscovites are allowed to leave the apartment only in cases:
Such restrictions will enter into force on Monday, March 30, to what date they are introduced is unknown.
The mayor emphasized that such measures are taken so that "the number of severe patients to grow gradually and so that the healthcare system copes." The source of Medusa, close to the Moscow Operational Headquarters in the Control of Coronavirus, emphasized that both the growth of the number of sick and the "people who went on barbecue" affected the adoption of new restrictions.
“The measures introduced today are absolutely necessary. But the effectiveness of these measures to contain the rate of spread of infection depends on the behavior of each of us. Take care of yourself and your neighbors. Please stay at home, ”said Sobyanin. The measures are also supported in the Kremlin, the presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
Later in the evening of March 29, it became known that similar restrictions were adopted in the Moscow region.
Sobyanin clarified that in the coming days, Muscovites will be given a pass. It will be possible to leave the house only if it is available. The “smart control system” will control the universal self -isolation regime. She will work within a week. “Gradually, but steadily, we will tighten the control necessary in this situation,” Sobyanin added.
A source of Medusa, close to the Moscow Operational Headquarters for Coronavirus, specified that the “smart control system”, which Sobyanin says, implies that every resident will have to register on the official website of the Moscow Mayor and declare where he is actually living (there will be no registration). After that, each resident will be given a QR code-these codes will be those passes for leaving the house, which Sobyanin spoke about in their appeal. They will need to be presented to the police on demand.
The decree of Sobyanin also says that the restrictions on movement will not apply to the owners of special launches, which the city hall will issue in a special order. According to the "Medusa", while such special travels are issued only to doctors. Who else will receive them is still unknown.
According to the interlocutor of Medusa, close to the Moscow operational headquarters, most likely the streets will patrol the police, but there is no final decision on this issue yet.
On March 20, the Moscow police officers brought the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Moscow Oleg Baranov until March 31 to work measures to work internal affairs bodies in “special conditions”, a source of Medusa in the Moscow police said. RBC previously reported about these measures.
At the Baranov’s assignment, it was said about the determination of responsible leaders to create the headquarters “to fulfill tasks in emergency conditions and the management of public order protection”. The public order security departments on migration and traffic police had to develop action plans “in the context of the complication of the sanitary and epidemiological situation” until March 31, including possible measures to limit the entry into Moscow and departure from the city, as well as patrolling in order to restrict the movements of citizens without special permission-with the involvement of the Russian Guard and combatants. Baranov ordered the thousands of epidemiological protection to the thousands of Baranov. The coordinating role in the approval of all special measures is assigned to the operational management of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, responsible for the work of internal affairs bodies in emergency situations.
Simultaneously with Baranov, the head of the Moscow head of the Ministry of Emergencies instructed his subordinates to prepare for work in quarantine, the source of Medusa said in the department. The commission also discussed the preparation of personal protective equipment and disinfection and personnel lists for work in quarantine conditions. Among other things, the personnel warned of possible duty with two -week shifts, the interlocutor of Medusa said.
What kind of sanctions are provided for violating restrictions, the city hall has not yet clarified, promising to clarify this in the coming days, according to Medusa, these will be fines for an administrative offense. Under the current legislation, Muscovites may face a fine of up to 500 rubles for violations "in the field of ensuring the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population." On March 26, the government proposed amendments to this article of the Administrative Code - a fine for citizens for violation of quarantine will be up to 300 thousand rubles, and for legal entities - up to a million.
The lawyer of the Human Rights Group "Agora" Leonid Soloviev explained to "Medusa" that "there is no responsibility for violation of the decree and the law is not provided for by law." “You cannot oblige citizens to be at home and not go outside, prohibit them with freedom of movement - inalienable constitutional law, bypassing the law of the procedures provided. It is possible to prohibit citizens only after the introduction of a state of emergency, ”Soloviev said.
According to him, only the presidential decree, confirmed by the Federation Council, can introduce a state of emergency. After that, quarantine measures can be extended to everyone. “But in this case this was not done, and the mayor, being the highest official of the city, bypasses all the procedures and is engaged in the fact that it allegedly obliges people to observe this regime. The legal nature of this decree is an appeal, this is not a binding, ”the lawyer added, calling Sobyanin's measures“ rehearsal of the emergency regime ”.
In his appeal, Sobyanin emphasized that new restrictions do not forbid to come to Moscow and leave the city. “It's only about the fact that you can’t move around the city for no good reason,” he added.
Also, from March 30, Muscovites are obliged to observe “social distance from other people” - at least 1.5 meters. The exception is made only for taxi trips. Shops, pharmacies and other organizations should make special markings and "establish the admission and stay mode in buildings and in the surrounding area."
“It is obvious that in the current difficult situation, unfortunately, many Muscovites will lose their jobs. To help them, a special complex of support measures will be developed, ”said Sobyanin. As the first step, the city hall will pay 19500 rubles a month to unemployed residents of the city. Payment will be assigned automatically - without submitting applications. Later in the evening of March 29, it became known that the unemployed residents of the Moscow Region would pay 15 thousand rubles.
In addition, the Moscow City Hall will extend for nine days traveling to everyone who will fulfill the requirement of the home regime and will not make a single trip from March 28 to April 5. Previously suspended student and school travel agencies will be extended at least a month from the date of end of the increased readiness mode.
