Russia’s President Vladimir Putin stated that the number of the coronavirus infections has decreased in Russia but warned that the situation may "swing in any direction", TASS reports.
"In June and in July the number of the coronavirus infections in Russia has been decreasing gradually, according to the operational details, the number of new detected cases right now is practically twice as low than during the peak periods in May," the head of state said at a meeting on sanitary and epidemiological situation in Russia.
At the same time Putin noted: "The situation remains complicated and, as they say, may swing in any direction." "So there are no reasons to be self-complacent, to relax, to forget about doctors’ recommendations," the president said to officials and all Russians.
It is essential to try to prevent the reimposition of coronavirus-related restrictions in Russia, Putin said.
