Expert expects coronavirus pandemic in Russia to end by August 2021
The coronavirus pandemic in Russia may end by August, Viktor Maleyev, an advisor to the scientific director of the Russian health watchdog’s Research Institute of Epidemiology, said in a post on the watchdog’s Instagram.
"The coronavirus pandemic in Russia may end by August 2021 because many people will develop immunity," the post reads.
According to Maleyev, the daily number of coronavirus cases may drop to hundreds and below in the summer, given the seasonal nature of the virus. However, a slight rise in infections is possible in the fall.
