This was reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Health.
“With regard to the risks of the spread of coronavirus infection that our citizens will face in the future: we must understand that all the risks that were earlier remained, but their danger decreased,” she said.
Malinnikova did not rule out that before the mass use of the vaccine in Russia, “it is necessary to live with circulating COVID-19 in the population”.
She also believes that talking about the complete victory over the coronavirus in Russia is “too early”.
“The disease, although to a lesser extent, is still registered in the regions,” the specialist said.
According to her, it is very important to observe individual protective measures during the lifting of restrictions.
Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Health of Russia Mikhail Murashko assessed the situation with the spread of COVID-19 in Russia. He noted that, according to the department’s calculations, “21 regions are still quite calm, but the epidemiological process is still ongoing in the rest.”
