“I would like to note that according to the results of the last 45th week, we see for the first time a decrease in the incidence rate for two months of continuous rise ... according to the results of all those measures that were taken during the week of non-working days, today we record a decrease in the country as a whole by 2 % ", - she said.

Popova added that in nine Russian regions, the incidence rate is declining from 2% to 23%.

“In 43 subjects, we do not observe any growth dynamics, the incidence has stopped.

But in another 33 subjects, we are seeing some growth.

This growth is insignificant, "- explained the head of Rospotrebnadzor.

Earlier, Popova spoke about the incidence of COVID-19 in different age groups in Russia.

In November, immunologist Vladimir Bolibok, in an interview with Nation News, recalled what to do with any cold during a pandemic.
