According to her, first of all, it is necessary to follow all precautions and use personal protective equipment.

“Firstly, in order for it to make sense to be tested for coronavirus, you need to follow all the rules, this is very important.

If you walk without a mask, if you travel in public transport without a mask, if there was a wonderful party with a large number of people in the evening, then you can do this every day and you can miss the wonderful moment when the virus appears, ”said the head of Rospotrebnadzor.

In this regard, she advised to perform testing for COVID-19 only if all anti-epidemic measures are observed.

“Then it can be done once a week, taking into account that 14 days is the incubation period ... Such regularity would be nice,” Popova noted.
