The Moscow government, together with the CDT, decided to urgently launch a network of outpatient CT centers (OCTC) based on city clinics in order to link patients who were treated at home with hospitals, and to provide them with available diagnostics. Also, the goals of this innovation were to reduce workload on medical facilities under the conditions of rapidly spreading disease, and to reduce mortality rates from COVID-19.
