Movement in the city decreased by two-thirds. And this is very good. Although it is obvious that not everyone heard us.
Nevertheless, the extremely negative turn of events that we see in the largest cities in Europe and the USA causes great concern for the life and health of our citizens.
All countries of the world are struggling to slow down the dynamics of the growth in the number of diseases, they are engaged in so-called smoothing so that the number of seriously ill patients grows gradually, and so that the health care system copes.
