Moscow reopens museums and zoos for the first time in more than two months

On Tuesday, museums, libraries and zoos in the city of Moscow are reopening their doors, albeit with continued limits on the number of visitors at any one time.

Residents of Moscow were able to return to museums and summer terraces on Tuesday for the first time in more than two months as the Russian capital rolled back more coronavirus curbs despite continuing to record over 1,000 new daily infections.

Moscow began to lift its lockdown last week, allowing residents to leave their homes, freely use public transport and travel across the city in their vehicles without any restrictions.
