Please let me know whether any cases of cholera or other infectious diseases have occurred in Moscow recently (especially in the last few days); 

how many (if any); 

what increase over earlier figures; 

what measures of sanitary city cleaning or other sanitary measures have been decided upon (if any such decisions have been taken), and which have been carried out.
