“We very much hope that we will be able to say - and we will have no reason for anything else - that the season of acute respiratory viral infections, to which the new coronavirus can already be attributed today, is ending,” TASS quoted her as saying.
Popova added that a decrease in the incidence of COVID-19 has been observed in Russia for 13 weeks.
The head of Rospotrebnadzor also expressed the hope that the coronavirus pandemic in Russia could end in the foreseeable future, but COVID-19 itself would not go away.
