MOSCOW, April 21. /TASS/. People diagnosed with acute respiratory viral infections will have to obey by the same lockdown rules as those diagnosed with the coronavirus infection. Their movements will be traced with the use of geolocation technologies, as follows from the Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin’s decree issued on Tuesday.

"From April 22, 2020, people with suspected novel coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV), as well as those with the symptoms of acute respiratory viral diseases are to observe the self-isolation regime at home like the one applicable to those with confirmed coronavirus infection," the document reads.

Technologies of "electronic monitoring of a person’s geolocation," including those applying technical devices, will be used to control the observance of the isolation regime.

On March 29, the Moscow mayor signed a decree expanding the high alert regime to prevent the novel coronavirus spread. The new measures bind people of all ages to stay at home, but for cases when people need emergency medical assistance or have to travel to work. People are also allowed to leave their homes to buy food, dispose garbage or walk a pet.

A system of digital passes for trips by private and public transport came into force in Moscow on April 15. Control over the observance of the lockdown pass regime will be exercised with the use of traffic cameras and traffic police patrols.
