The restrictions on the total capacity in theaters, cinemas and concert halls in Moscow, introduced as part of the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection, have been partially lifted from January 22. This was reported on the website of the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin.
The maximum number of spectators in cultural institutions will increase from 25 percent to 50 percent of the total capacity of the premises. It is noted that this is done due to the fact that in Moscow the number of daily hospitalized patients with coronavirus has decreased, as well as the rate of vaccination has increased.
The work of libraries, museums and other cultural institutions will also be resumed. It is allowed to hold exhibitions and other mass cultural events, provided that the number of visitors does not exceed 50 percent of the total capacity of the premises.
Sobyanin announced a decision to lift restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic on visiting cinemas in the capital in June 2020. Prior to this, the mayor said that the planned transition to a normal life in Moscow will take almost 2, 5 months.
The Moscow authorities do not currently see the need to tighten restrictions due to the coronavirus, but there are no plans to remove the existing measures either. The deputy mayor of the capital for economic policy and property and land relations, Vladimir Efimov, told reporters about this.
"In such situations it is very difficult to predict something. We have to start from the current situation. At the moment we see that there is no need to tighten [measures], but, unfortunately, there is no way to remove those restrictions that exist," said Efimov.
According to him, at the moment the situation with the spread of coronavirus is quite stable. The Moscow health care system copes with the number of people infected and hospitalized, which is detected daily.

At the end of the New Year holidays, almost every second movie ticket (48.7%) was sold for a family fantasy session "The Last Hero: The Root of Evil". Over 10 days of the holidays, the picture was watched by more than 5 million viewers, and the box office receipts amounted to 1.6 billion rubles, which is a third of the receipts for the New Year's weekend. The second place in the box office for the New Year holidays was taken by the disaster film "Fire" directed by Alexei Nuzhny. The picture was watched by more than 1.6 million viewers, the box office receipts amounted to 491.5 million rubles.
