"In connection with the publication in the media about that at the beginning of June in Moscow there was a surge in the incidence of coronavirus, the health Department of Moscow makes official rebuttal. The information that the data on deaths from novel coronavirus infection, 6 June, in Moscow, recorded an increase of morbidity, is absolutely untrue", – stated in the message of Department.
It is noted that, according to the operational headquarters of Moscow for the control and monitoring of the situation with coronavirus, from 6 to 24 June, there was a constant decrease in the number of deaths from COVID-19. In addition, from 6 to 24 June, more than in 2 times has decreased the number of cases and growth rate in June was stable and had negative values, that is, gradually decreased. The main indicator of the epidemiological situation – the average daily growth rate from 6 to 24 June is also negative.
