Back to the Office in Moscow

The Russian Federation's capital city of Moscow, with about 12 million residents, has lifted certain COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, such as work-from-home and restaurant guidelines. Moscow's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin stated he signed a decree on January 27, 2021, which eliminated the requirement to transfer at least 30% of employees to remote work.

And restrictions on night work of catering establishments, night clubs, bars, discos, karaoke, bowling alleys, and other leisure and entertainment industry organizations are also canceled in Moscow. The Moscow Government will decide on changes at universities in early February 2021.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, The Moscow Times reported Russia had confirmed 3,793,810 cases of coronavirus and 71,651 related fatalities.
