Larisa Popovich is confident that the promptly taken measures of self-isolation helped Russia to enter its own path of developing the COVID-19 epidemic.
Larisa Popovich, director of the Institute for Health Economics at the Higher School of Economics, said that the self-isolation measures taken and non-compliance by many people led Russia to its own scenario for the development of the epidemic, unlike the experience of other countries.
“We had every chance to go according to the Italian or Spanish version, if self-isolation and distancing measures had not been introduced,” Popovich said in an interview with URA.ru.
The woman stressed that these are not Spanish, Italian or American scripts that horrify the whole world. However, the path of Russia is not similar to the Greek or Austrian (more optimistic) ones either.
Recall that the situation with the coronavirus, as Vladimir Putin said on April 13, is changing every day, and not for the better. Over the past day, another 2 cases of infection were recorded. In total, there are already more than 774 thousand cases in Russia, 21 people have died.
