According to him, many in Russia ignore the requirements for maintaining social distance and the use of masks and gloves, so the authorities should strengthen awareness-raising and, if necessary, increase the size of fines.
“We should have more substantial fines.
It is worth more actively to conduct educational work, to involve actors and famous people in it, and not to intimidate everyone.
It is necessary to explain in plain language what all these preventive measures need to be followed, ”the virologist emphasized.
At the same time Vikulov urged not to write out a fine for the first violation, but first confine himself to a warning.
“It is also necessary to demand that at the entrance to the metro, the shopping center, put on masks and not let them go without them, so that there are no conflicts,” he added.
The doctor also recommends to draw up a "thoughtful algorithm of actions" for the use of gloves.
“Gloves are desirable if the person is in contact with the surface.
For example, he walks into a bank and touches the buttons of ATMs with his bare hands, which may be contaminated even outside the pandemic, ”the infectious disease specialist explained.
Earlier, Aghasi Tavadyan, an expert on statistics and modeling at the Center for Economic Research, predicted the beginning of a decline in the incidence of coronavirus in Russia at the end of November.
