In addition, Vuinovich said that Russia should support the preparedness of the health system in the event of a possible increase in new infections.

Earlier, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhan Gebreyesus, said that now WHO recommends wearing masks in countries where coronavirus is widespread and physical distance is difficult.
