Coronavirus has become a major global health crisis, and individual responsibility is essential in order to curb the spread of this disease.
From this blog I have to recommend that you do not travel to Russia for the next few weeks. It is a somewhat painful request, since, as you know, this is a blog that encourages you to travel to one of the most exciting countries in the world and in which I have grown up.
If Moscow has been waiting for you 873 years since its foundation and Saint Petersburg 317 years, I am sure they can wait a little longer.
Please, take into account current travel recommendations from government authorities:
