Rospotrebnadzor, in turn, also came up with new recommendations for people of "silver age" over 60 years old, since they are at particular risk.

“Use masks in crowded places - on public transport, in a shop, when visiting a bank or MFC.

Try to visit public places less often.

Use public transport as little as possible, especially during peak times.

Reduce visits to shops and shopping centers, MFCs, banks ... Wash your hands often with soap and water, hygiene is very important for your health, ”the message says.

In turn, the head of the Accounts Chamber, Alexei Kudrin, in an interview with RT, expressed the opinion that in connection with the spread of COVID-19, new measures will be needed to reduce poverty and help the population.

“Let's see, of course, what will happen next, but now people themselves will be afraid to go to restaurants and shops, the number of people using transport will decrease, and economic difficulties will arise in a number of industries.

In this sense, I believe that new measures will be needed to support the economy, ”he added.

"Western idiocy"

The well-known journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Pozner criticized the position of the West, which criticized the Russian vaccine against coronavirus infection Sputnik V, developed by the Gamaleya National Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology.

According to him, there is no reason to believe that Russian scientists could have misled the public.

“As for the West, unfortunately, politics prevails over reason.

Russia is a byaka, therefore it cannot produce anything good.

It’s idiotic, of course, but it’s true, ”says a statement published on the journalist’s website.

The world's first coronavirus vaccine, dubbed Sputnik V, was registered in Russia on 11 August.

The drug has already been released into civilian circulation.

At the moment, post-registration studies are underway, three foreign employees of RT have become their participants: representatives of the Arabic edition of RT Mussus Yasmin and Mohammed Mustafa Saleh, as well as the journalist of the Spanish edition of the Moraga TV channel Gonzalez Isayas Carlos.

In total, the Sputnik V vaccine was administered to more than 5,000 volunteers, the Russian Ministry of Health said.

"Cases of significant undesirable and adverse reactions, other than those described in the instructions, were not recorded," the message says.

Meanwhile, by the end of 2020, a Chinese inactivated vaccine against COVID-19 may appear on sale.

This was reported in the propaganda department of the State Committee on Health of the People's Republic of China.

“Currently, vaccine research and development in China is generally progressing, four vaccines have already been approved for the third phase of clinical trials abroad, which is 44% of the total number of all third phase clinical trials in the world,” RIA Novosti text message.
