(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Russia's epidemic is under general control, or the second outbreak will occur in winter
China News Agency, Moscow, June 12-Russian Health Minister Murashko said in an interview with Russian media that the Russian epidemic is under control, but it is still too early to talk about returning to normal life. Russian experts predicted that the Russian epidemic would end in late July and early August, but the second wave of the epidemic may break out in winter.
According to RIA Novosti, Murashko said that out of the 85 federal bodies in Russia, 21 regions have a relatively stable epidemic situation, but the epidemic situation in other regions is still developing and at different stages. He said that Moscow has achieved good results in reducing the number of new coronavirus pneumonia, but the people should still abide by the health regulations and epidemic prevention requirements.
Earlier Russian media said that 650,000 people in Russia have received the new coronavirus immunization test, and nearly 14% of them have antibodies. Murashko said that although the number of people with antibodies is increasing, it has not yet reached the level of group immunity. So it is too early to talk about returning to normal life.
Murashko said that before we learned that high temperature climate will inhibit viral activity. But we communicated with national experts in high-temperature climates, and hot temperatures did not inhibit viral activity.
Tass News Agency quoted the chief epidemiologist of the Russian Ministry of Health and the director of the Department of Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Medicine of the First Medical University of Moscow State Chechenov as saying that the current Russian epidemic has reached its peak and entered a stable stage. The epidemic situation in Russia is expected to improve significantly at the end of June.

There are still 322,000 people under medical observation. Anatoly Altstein, a virologist at the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology of Russia's "Gamalya", said on the same day that the epidemic could not be regarded as over until the daily test volume was as low as tens or hundreds. .
Altstein said that the Russian epidemic is expected to end in late July to early August, but the second wave of the epidemic is inevitable and may break out in winter.
