As the outbreak is re-spreading in Moscow and the number of new cases is increasing, Mayor Sobyanin announced new restrictions in mid-June. From June 28th, you will be required to show your QR code when you enter a restaurant in Moscow. Those who do not have a QR code cannot enter the restaurant.
Those who can get a QR code:
--People who have completed two Russian vaccinations
--People who have a history of infection within half a year
--People who have been tested negative by PCR within 3 days
You will need to fill out a special form on the Moscow Government Services Portal to receive the QR code. According to the restaurant industry, revenue has dropped to 75%, so we have decided that it is not necessary to show the QR code when using the terrace seats of restaurants. Many Moscow people now have a nice summer time eating on the terrace.

Since mid-June, the spread of the new coronavirus has continued in Moscow, and the number of hospitalized people is 180663, which is a high level.
One of the pleasures of this season is to board a sightseeing boat on a drawbridge tour that goes up in the middle of the night.
In search of coolness from this heat, many people are gathering to watch the situation on the land around the Neva River.
On the boat, there are party boats with elaborate tastes such as bandmen on board and DJs excited, and Neva Kawakami is also very lively.
There you can see Russians trying hard to enjoy the short summer.
From mid-June, when the midnight sun is at its peak, the city of St. Petersburg has been experiencing record heat, exceeding 30 degrees Celsius every day.
Although coolers are installed in offices and restaurants, there are many cases where there is no air conditioner in ordinary people's houses, and people who are not good at hot weather are a little late in the summer.
On the other hand, the pictures of the beautiful midnight sun sunset, which is unique to this fine weather, decorate SNS every day and fascinate people.
