Russia to keep some restrictive measures until COVID-19 vaccine is found - health minister

Russia will partly maintain some of the restrictive measures taken to slow down the spread of the novel coronavirus until a vaccine for the new disease is found, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel. "The restrictive measures must be lifted stage by stage as well, however, some of them will be maintained until medical prophylactic means are found," he said. Murashko stressed that there is a risk of a second wave of infection if there is no herd immunity to the virus.Tass
