The Russian capital recently became empty as most citizens are staying at home during the coronavirus pandemic. Moscow's deserted streets are now a phantasmagoric and unbelievable sight, considering the fact that there are over 12.6 million people living in the city. 

On 11 March, the World Health Organisation declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The disease has reportedly topped 2,000,000 cases globally and the death toll has surpassed 127,000.
