"I think that the end of April - the beginning of May will be a turning point ... And we must set foot in Moscow on a certain plateau, stabilization and a subsequent decline in June and July," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to him, after some “tipping point” a plateau should follow, when approximately the same number of people infected per day will be observed, after which the epidemiological threat will decline.
Earlier, an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, an immunologist, Valery Chereshnev, predicted that the epidemic of coronavirus infection would end in Russia in mid-July if the sources of infection were localized.
The first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education and Science, the former chief sanitary doctor of Russia Gennady Onishchenko, in an interview with the NSN, commented on the increase in the number of Russians who have a mild or asymptomatic coronavirus infection.
