News that may affect you directly
So should we wear masks or not? Let's put an end to this dispute . On June 5, the World Health Organization updated its recommendations. Now everyone is advised to wear masks - and not just people with ARVI symptoms, doctors, as well as those who care for a sick person at home, as before. We tell you how to put on and take off masks correctly, and how to care for them.
We tell you how Putin forced Sobyanin to lift the quarantine ahead of schedule . The mayor of Moscow expected that the restrictions would last until July, but after a personal conversation with the president he was forced to change his mind . The Kremlin hopes that voters, who were allowed to walk, play sports and go to restaurants and beauty salons, will vote for amendments to the Constitution as they should. Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov insists that regional heads lift restrictions themselves, without pressure.
What else
COVID-19 may have spread to the Chinese city of Wuhan earlier than everyone thought. American scientists studied the number of cars in the parking lots of city hospitals and noticed that from August to December 2019 there were more of them. And three weeks before the recorded outbreak of the disease (it is believed that it occurred on December 31), the number of queries for “cough” and “diarrhea” sharply increased in the Chinese search engine Baidu. These symptoms occur in 59% and 13% of patients, respectively. However, the study was not entirely convincing .
An investigator from Belgorod had a protective mask drawn on a photo from a meeting with doctors . Investigator Alexander Sidenko met with ambulance workers who complained that they were not paid bonuses. The photo posted on the SK website was edited in an application for applying online makeup. Sidenko claims that he was wearing a real mask.

💼 Newsletter sponsor
In Moscow, the isolation regime is gradually being lifted: restaurants, beauty salons and even gyms will soon open. Did you miss them? We do! Our sponsor today too. The brand even released a touching video about simple things that many were missing: classes with a trainer, a new haircut, a massage. Freedom is very close, but for now, let's reconsider and remember how much we missed them!
