Authorities in Moscow have eased lockdown restrictions, even as case
numbers continue to rise.
Parks and shopping centers in the Russian capital reopened and people
were allowed out for walks and limited exercise for the first time in
nine weeks.
President Vladimir Putin announced last week the country had passed
the peak of its outbreak.
But infections are still rising, and some question lifting restrictions.
In total the country has recorded four hundred and fourteen thousand,
eight hundred and seventy-eight infections, the third highest number
in the world after the US and Brazil.
A number of other European nations are also easing restrictions on
Monday as primary schools reopen in Greece and England.
The move comes after authorities doubled Moscow’s official death toll
for the month of April.
