The government was offered to extend self-isolation until May 12
In turn, Alexander Semyonov, Deputy Director of the Scientific research Institute of epidemiology and microbiology named after Pasteur, clarified that the getting out from self-isolation should be gradual and as careful as possible. Maintaining the restrictions until at least May 12 will avoid a second wave of the disease, he added.
As the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova reported at the meeting, today it is clear that in the near future it will not be possible to remove the restrictions imposed.
She explained that Russia has passed two incubation periods of the coronavirus, and we can talk about a return to normal life at least after the third.
"Then we will be sure that the trend, the dynamics that are being outlined today, will allow us to maintain the situation and gradually return to the living conditions that we are used to", added the head of Rospotrebnadzor.
Tatyana Golikova informed virologists and epidemiologists who took part in the meeting that she would report to the President and Prime Minister on proposals to extend the restrictive measures.
"At the end of the meeting with Anna Yurievna (Popova – editor’s note) we will report to the President of the country and the Prime Minister about your views, proposals, comments on the strategy of restrictive measures and on the strategy for getting out of these restrictive measures", she said.
As of April 24, 68,622 people infected with coronavirus were registered in Russia, 5,568 patients recovered, and 615 died from the disease.
