According to the infectious disease specialist, COVID-19 will not disappear completely, and cases of morbidity will continue to be detected, since the seasonality of this disease is still unknown.

The rise in the incidence of covid in the country has forced the authorities to revert some of the quarantine measures that were previously introduced and canceled when the pandemic began to recede. In Moscow, for example, the increase in coronavirus cases was the highest since the end of May.
