According to her, not only Russia, but also most of the countries of the WHO European Region are in the process of changing measures for physical distance and easing restrictions.

“Nevertheless, we must remember that the reduction in the number of new cases of COVID-19 is primarily the result of public health measures and physical distance measures, and not the simple course of the epidemiological process,” she emphasized.

As Vuynovich noted, "the world is now in a new and dangerous phase."

“Many people are tired of being at home. For obvious reasons, countries seek to open their societies and economies. But the virus is still spreading rapidly, it is still deadly, and most people are still susceptible to it, ”she added.

Earlier, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhan Ghebreyesus said that at the global level, the pandemic is accelerating.

On June 19, Gebreyesus also noted that the world was "in a new and very dangerous phase" of the coronavirus.
