"The situation with the coronavirus in Russia is gradually stabilizing ... We assume that the stabilization phase will last for about two months, then a gradual decrease in the incidence can be expected," Interfax quotes him.
As the epidemiologist explained, the stabilization of the situation was influenced by citizens' compliance with precautionary measures, a decrease in social activity of the population, as well as the beginning of mass vaccination against coronavirus.
“In order for the incidence to begin to decrease significantly, at least 60% of the adult population who have not been ill must be vaccinated.
Until this level is reached, there may be wave-like fluctuations in the daily incidence, ”he added.
Earlier, an employee of the Gamaleya Center, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Felix Ershov, in an interview with URA.RU, assessed the situation with the pandemic.
