St. Petersburg in the northwestern part of Russia has entered a season called the velvet season. It's a season when the cool, refreshing air that makes you feel autumn is amid the gentle sunshine. From this week, the new semester has begun and the town has become more lively.
As of September 2, 2020 (Thursday) 37,041 infected with St. Petersburg (+189 from yesterday)
Release of quarantine 25,981 (+106 from yesterday)
2461 dead (+21 from yesterday)
Coronavirus is hard to come to an end. In August, the situation in Corona in Moscow hasn't changed much. The number of people infected daily exceeds 650 for 2-3 consecutive weeks.
Infection status in Moscow as of August 18, 2020:
Infected: 253.757 Healed: 199.117 Dead: 4.677
Masks have been required to be worn in public indoor spaces since May, but the number of mask wearers has fallen sharply between July and August, so Moscow police have tightened crackdowns. Violators will be fined 5,000 rubles. The police department announced that it has fined 42,000 people in Moscow since May.
For the first time in four months, Tretyakov Museum and Pushkin Museum have resumed operations at the end of July. To avoid crowds, only those who have made reservations online can enter. Distance markers are added to the floor to prevent visitors from mingling together. Ticket sales are limited, so you can enjoy the exhibition now. 1,500 people visited on the first day of the restart of the Pushkin Museum of Art.
International flights to Russia began on August 1st. Russians can now go to Turkey, England and Tanzania for tourism purposes. We accept tourists from those three countries. We hope that other countries will be added soon.
As of August 2, 2020 Number of infected people in St. Petersburg, Russia 31785 (+163 from the previous day)
Number of quarantine lifters 23552 (vs. +86)
Dead number 2056 (+4 compared to the previous day)
In addition to open spaces, restaurants and cafes are permitted to be used indoors while keeping a distance.
In summer, the city of St. Petersburg changes its weather many times a day.
This makes it possible to secure a place to stay in the rain, and it is safe for people who are walking around the city, which has increased considerably.
In large shopping malls, it is required to check the mask and disinfect your hands when entering each store.
The number of infected people is still high, but it seems that summer vacation is coming back to the town to enjoy a short summer.
July 15 "Hermitage Museum" opens.
The photo is a poster telling that.
Advance reservations via the internet are required for admission.
Stay 2 hours, bring 3 courses, mask and gloves.
Usually, in the summer, tourists from both inside and outside of Japan are a big mess,
Currently, you can enjoy watching slowly under the entrance restrictions.
You can also use shops and cafes in the building.
The number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Russia is declining. In Moscow, the number of new infections per day reaches ~600 in 1-2 weeks. According to Deputy Prime Minister Tachijana Gorikowa, international flights are scheduled to start step by step from August 1. Russia is waiting for tourists.
Since July 13th, Moscow no longer requires outdoor masks. Although masks and gloves are obligatory for public transportation, shopping centers, etc., the number of people who follow the rules is decreasing. However, in Moscow, where people are always crowded, Russians enjoy walking and sports exercises while maintaining a social distance.
From July, the liner service on the Moscow River was resumed. I think it's best to see the scenery and architecture of Moscow from a cruise ship because the summer weather in Moscow is good. After the lockdown, the new large theme park "Yumenoshima" was opened. There are various attractions in the park that both adults and children can enjoy. The number of visitors is less than half the usual number, so advance purchase of tickets is required.
