“The advantages are obvious: people are tired of quarantine measures, and it’s time to gradually part with them. Both the news agenda and the sitting at home are oppressed. Doing sports, walking in the parks - I welcome all this, ”Agranovsky said in an interview with kp.ru.

He noted that the removal of all restrictions in the current phase of the epidemic could lead to the additional appearance of detected cases of coronavirus.

At the same time, the virologist drew attention to the fact that people began to contact more often.

“This means that carriers of the virus, who sometimes do not even know that they are, are in contact, well, at least with their parents,” he said, adding that it would be especially dangerous for the elderly, so “the lifting of restrictive measures should be gradual ".

On May 29, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that the situation with the spread of coronavirus in the country is stabilizing.

He emphasized that a positive trend has allowed a number of Russian regions to phase out restrictions.
