The mayor of Moscow ordered all residents of the city to stay home, except for essential outings, as the city confirmed more than 1,000 cases of COVID-19.
Residents can only leave their homes for emergency medical help, trips to work for those who are required to continue working, visits to the nearest grocery store and pharmacy, dog walks within 300 feet of a building, and throwing out trash.
