  • Story Text: The streets of Moscow were slightly busier on Friday (April 10) compared to the previous day as the end of the second week of a nationwide lockdown draws near.
    As of 11:30 am GMT on Friday, the self-isolation index was 2.9, slightly higher than the 2.8 recorded on Thursday (April 9).
    According to Russian search engine and provider of the index Yandex, a value of 0.0-2.4 indicates a large number of people outside, while an index of 2.5-3.9 indicates an average value. If the index shows 4.0-5.0 points, this means that the city is properly observing the lockdown.
    Russia reported 1,786 more coronavirus cases on Friday, its largest daily rise so far, which took the national tally of confirmed infections to 11,917.
    The number of coronavirus-related deaths rose by 18 to 94, the Russian coronavirus crisis response center said in a statement.
