The Russian capital reported 7,704 new infections on Sunday, the most in a single day since Dec. 24. Authorities reported 14,723 cases nationwide, the largest one-day total since Feb. 13.
Mayor Sergei Sobyanin told residents on Saturday to stay off work this coming week to help curb the spread of the virus, effectively declaring a long public holiday."This is only a temporary solution," he said in a follow-up blog on Sunday. "To avoid new restrictions and secure a sustainable improvement of the situation, we need to significantly speed up vaccinations."
Sobyanin has publicly lamented how few residents have chosen to get the vaccine. He gave no new figures on Sunday for how many have had the shot. He said on May 21 that 1.3 million out of a population of more than 12 million had received one dose. To boost demand, Sobyanin said that anyone over 18 who receives the first of a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine from June 14 until July 11 would now be automatically entered into a draw to win a car.Russia was the first country in the world to approve a COVID-19 vaccine for domestic use, prior to the start of large-scale trials. It began rolling out the Sputnik V shot in December and it was rapidly opened up to everyone in Moscow.
I knew I should have held out. This will give spinach brain Biden the idea to give free money for getting the vax. I think I’ll get more shots to get free stuff. You cant tell the vax from “those people”.
Deadly offerings!
