Peskov noted that the situation with the coronavirus is monitored daily at the government level.

“If necessary, if this exponential dynamics continues to go up, then this (the introduction of additional measures. -

As of August 3, more than two thousand people with coronavirus were hospitalized per day in Russia, which is 3.9% more than the day before.
