Chinese Individuals in Protective Masks Cough in Moscow Metro; Authorities Appeal to Law Enforcement

The Moscow Metro has appealed to law enforcement authorities to identify and punish pranksters who made jokes about the coronavirus in the Moscow subway. Earlier, images and reports surfaced on social media about two individuals in protective suits and seven Chinese people coughing while entering a train at one of the metro stations. It has been noted that the group was disembarked at the next station.

“We have observed some jokes regarding the coronavirus theme in the Moscow Metro. In our opinion, these are not jokes, but ordinary hooliganism. In the coming days, we will file a request with law enforcement asking to find and punish these hooligans,” announced the metro authorities.
