According to Rospotrebnadzor, in Russia 16.3 million tests for coronavirus were carried out. 310 thousand people remain under medical supervision in the country.

As noted earlier in the World Health Organization, in Russia "almost 11% of the population is tested, because of this the picture is real."

“Russia has expanded the COVID-19 testing base on a large scale, so there really is a good understanding of the statistics of infected people and because of this there is a more realistic picture of the number of deaths and the death rate from COVID,” said Melita Vujnovich, WHO representative in Russia. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

We add that WHO reports 8.2 million reported cases of COVID-19 worldwide. According to the organization, to date, 445 535 people with coronavirus infection have died in the world.

Vaccine predictions and trials

Earlier, the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova called the situation with COVID-19 in the Russian Federation “managed”.

“We already see the light, we already know how to (treat. - RT ). We already understand that the situation is manageable, and we know how to manage it. This is very important, ”RIA Novosti quotes Popova as saying.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova believes that with the observance of security measures in the country, a second wave of coronavirus can be avoided.

“I do not think that if we follow all security measures, we should wait for the second wave,” the agency quotes Golikov.

In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister paid attention to the production of a vaccine against coronavirus infection. In her opinion, the industrial release of the product can start closer to the fall.

“I hope that the schedule that we have now approved in accordance with the president’s instructions assumes just August (the first completion of the tests) and access to industrial production in August-September,” she said.

Recall that earlier the Ministry of Defense began to test the vaccine against COVID-19 in the military hospital named after N.N. Burdenko. Tests were approved by the Russian Ministry of Health on June 16.

The Ministry of Defense on June 18 published details of the procedure. It is reported that the process is under the control of the most experienced specialists. Of the 18 volunteers, nine received one component of the drug, and another nine received another. All volunteers will continue to be under the continuous supervision of medical specialists, the department noted.

“According to the results of a survey and examination of volunteers, there were no adverse reactions or complications, there were no complaints from the participants of the experiment about the state of health,” the Ministry of Defense said.
