Medvedev announced the fifth phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia

Since the spring of 2021, RUSSIA has been in the fifth phase of the CORONAVIRUS pandemic, during which there is another increase in the incidence. Dmitry Medvedev, former president and deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, announced this in his article for Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

“We entered the fifth phase of the pandemic this spring, and this period is still ongoing. Now we are seeing another rise in the incidence rate, which, taking into account the greater volume of testing, has reached a historical maximum. The incidence rate fluctuates at a very high, almost critical level, mass vaccination is underway, ”wrote the ex-president.

According to him, life in the "new reality" requires thoughtful and balanced decisions, as well as a long "trench" war against the pandemic. “This struggle should be waged by the common forces of all countries. Despite all the objective difficulties, and even more so - on someone's political ambitions, ”he added.

Against the backdrop of an increase in the incidence rate, President Vladimir Putin declared non-working days from October 30 to November 7.

In addition, in Sevastopol, checkpoints were set up at the entrance and exit from the city, which check the QR codes of those entering the region.
