MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 02nd May, 2020) The results of screening show that some 2 percent of the population of Moscow have been infected with COVID-19, the Russian capital's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said Saturday.

"According to the results of screening of various population groups, the real number of those infected is about 2 percent of the total number of the residents of Moscow.
