“According to experts, the peak of the incidence rate is yet to come, and now we need to do everything to smooth this peak, to shorten the transit time through the so-called plateau, when the largest number of new infections is recorded,” Putin quoted Interfax as saying.
Putin said that the spread of coronavirus in Russia continues and the situation is complicated, although due to preventive measures it was possible to slow down the development of infection in the regions.
April 17, Putin also reported that the peak incidence of coronavirus infection has not yet passed.
