“In 35 constituent entities of Russia today we are still seeing an increase in the incidence rate, a worsening of the epidemiological situation.
And besides this, in 15 of them we see a deterioration in the situation with an excess of the average Russian indicators.
The situation is developing at high numbers for each region.
And this suggests that it is too early to weaken the restrictions, ”Popova said in an interview with Naila Asker-zade on the Russia 1 TV channel.
Earlier, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said that it is necessary to get vaccinated against coronavirus before the onset of the flu season.
