Navigation season of 2020 has been opened throughout the water area of the Moscow Basin of Russia’s inland water ways despite regional anti-epidemic restrictions on passenger transportation, says press center of Federal Marine and River Transport Agency (Rosmorrechflot).

In compliance with the regional measures on prevention of COVID-19 spread, navigation of passenger ships in the water area of Moscow is banned from April 17 with the same ban covering the entire Moscow Region from April 18.
