Yes, only 1264 cases reporting but 817 of those are in Moscow are we have seen +228 cases today (out of 1264 cases) so we are looking at the begining of the rapid growth phase most likely now that the infection spreads within Russia rather than being delivered here from elsewhere. The real figures may also be higher due to the finite testing, as it is elsewhere.
There is a soft self isolation order for the vulnerable groups (ie elderly), there is a mandatory 7 day holiday with calls to stay at home during it. Major parks, shopping centers etc are closed down, only important places are still open ie groceries and pharmacies. There is a discussion for complete lock down of the inter city travel and such but none of those measures were implimented yet.
