Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin described the COVID-19 situation in the city as "dramatic" on Wednesday, announcing, at the same time, mandatory vaccination against the virus in the services sector, APA reports citing Teletrader.

In a blog post published on Sobyanin's website, the mayor attributed his decision to a rising number of COVID hospitalizations, and a "high morbidity rate." Moscow authorities will do everything they can to "stop the terrible disease in the shortest possible time," Sobyanin stated.
