“No one can guarantee that there will be no deterioration, of the second, third wave, that the drugs will be effective,” the party’s press service quoted Medvedev as saying.

According to him, only by working together can the desired results be achieved.

“Despite the difference in positions, ideological approaches, try to give an impetus to this work so that we can overcome the most terrible challenge that mankind faced in the 21st century,” he added.

As Medvedev emphasized, no one knows how long the world will need to be in this confrontation, but the presence of optimistic will is a positive thing.

Earlier, the chief expert of the working group to combat COVID-19 in the United States Anthony Fauci said that the world is at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

He predicts that it will strengthen before it weakens. 

As the representative of the WHO in Russia Melita Vujnovich noted, speaking about the likelihood of a second wave of COVID-19 in the country, no one can give a forecast, because a lot of factors influence this.
