COVID-19 ruined many plans of millions of people all over the world. And although I prefer not focusing on negativity, this pandemic is unfortunately our current reality that people try to overcome. For instance, earlier I shared some virtual tours of Saint Petersburg museums that are a great substitute nowadays. Today you will get to know more of how this situation with coronavirus affected the city life.
Updates from Saint Petersburg:
- During 18.3.-30.4. any public events over 50 participants are banned.
