“It is clear that the peak of incidence has not yet been passed, and developments in the most difficult scenario cannot be ruled out,” the head of government quoted Interfax as saying.
According to him, the Cabinet is doing everything to slow down the spread of the virus.
He called on federal authorities and regional leaders to pay attention to the fact that hospitals should be fully prepared to receive patients with coronavirus.
“In terms of equipment, drugs, medical devices,” he said.
