Tatarstan. They prepare statistical data and indicators and submit them to the Cabinet of Ministers for consideration. According to our experts, this is premature for our republic."

Unless, of course, new strains get into Russia: British, South African, Brazilian, the rate of spread of which is even faster. In this case, it is extremely difficult to predict. The second wave will subside within three months. This, of course, will be primarily due to the fact that the number of cases will grow, and the rate of mass vaccination in all regions of the Russian Federation and specifically in our city," he said.
