"The sun really prevents the spread of coronavirus, but not at the temperatures that are today," RIA Novosti quoted Murashko as saying.
At the same time, according to him, the current temperature in Moscow is "insufficient to stop the spread of coronavirus."
“For him, the optimal mode is the temperature in the range of 6-8 ° C, so it’s not yet possible to say that climatic factors contribute to the inactivation of the virus,” the minister added.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Health updated recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of new coronavirus infection, adding drugs that are possible for prescribing to adults.
