According to him, in Russia, the peak of the incidence should decline when compared with indicators in Western Europe.

“Russia is two to three weeks behind Europe in terms of the dynamics of cases, and almost simultaneously we are following the dynamics of the incidence with Turkey, from which, most likely, we have been importing coronavirus in recent weeks,” the scientist explained to Izvestia.

Over the past day, 1,790 people with coronavirus were hospitalized in Russia, and 2,761 patients with COVID-19 were hospitalized the day before.

In 24 hours, 28,982 cases of the disease were detected.
