The World Health Organization has officially announced - a new outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus began on March 11. The Russian authorities took tough measures and introduced quarantine until April 5. Let us explain how long the quarantine will last in Russia due to the coronavirus, and what new information has become known about the COVID-19 disease.

New flash

Today, law enforcement agencies carefully monitor compliance with the quarantine rules in order to avoid the active spread of the epidemic.

Experts say that the quarantine due to coronavirus in Russia will be extended. This issue is already being considered at the official level. The government consults with leading medical professionals.

Many of them believe that seven days of isolation may not be enough for good reasons:

1. Based on the latest data from the Ministry of Health, the incubation period for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus exceeds 5 days. Average indicators - 14 days, in rare cases - up to three weeks.
2. Other countries have demonstrated that a weekly quarantine cannot stop the spread of the epidemic. Especially if milder self-isolation measures are used, as in Italy.

In the first two days, based on statistics for Moscow and the region, people perceived the introduction of quarantine as a vacation. Only after the rules have been tightened can the real date of the beginning of isolation be counted.

Mykola Briko's opinion on the spread of the virus

Nikolai Briko, a freelance epidemiologist at the Ministry of Health, said that Russia is approaching the peak of the spread of the virus. The expert claims that the number of people infected will increase for a short time, then it will decline. This will mainly be facilitated by restrictions and quarantines taken by the authorities.

Nikolai Ivanovich announced that the coronavirus in Russia should decline in April-May, but this means that the quarantine can be extended. As a result, he claims that after stable warming, the need for quarantine will disappear. The reason is that the virus cannot survive during the warm season.

Tatyana Golikova with an address to Putin

Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova at a regular meeting with the President discussed the issue of quarantine in Russia due to the spread of coronavirus and its extension. According to WHO statistics, the number of cases per day increased by 18, 8%.

Today the following is known:

1. The virus was not detected in 10 regions of the Russian Federation.
2. Social distancing measures can be extended indefinitely.
3. The largest number of infected people was recorded in Buryatia, Moscow, Komi, Moscow region and St. Petersburg.
4. Russian scientists will conduct preclinical studies of the vaccine and drugs until June 22.
5. The "Vector" Center has developed a system to detect antibodies in the blood of those who have been ill.
6. Until April 10, they will officially announce which drugs are effective for the treatment of COVID-19. Currently, 8 drugs are being researched.
7. When the quarantine is extended, compromises will be found for business development in conditions of restrictions.
8. The vaccine will be tested on June 29. The project will involve 60 people on a voluntary basis.
9. The increase in SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infected is due to the active screening of already infected residents.
10. The number of non-residents arriving in Russia will be limited.

Predictions and advice by G. Onishchenko

Gennady Onishchenko, a deputy and ex-head of Rospotrebnadzor, said on the air of KP radio that it makes no sense to panic and listen to the words of astrologers and visionaries. To calculate the spread of the epidemic and the decision to extend the quarantine, there are epidemiologists.

He stressed that if people stay at home, work remotely, do not go anywhere, this will contribute to the non-proliferation of coronavirus. At the end of his conversation, Gennady Grigorievich said that "a happy and long life awaits the Russians."

V. Skvortsova's forecast

The head of the Federal Biomedical Agency (FMBA), Veronika Skvortsova, said that the extension of quarantine and the return of life to its usual course completely depend on the timing of the vaccine. While it is not there, there is no point in putting healthy people at risk, and it is quite reasonable to extend self-isolation measures.

She noted that eight samples are ready for testing, and the time to create a vaccine will be about 11 months.

Financial condition of citizens during quarantine

Many Russians were financially unprepared for the epidemic and quarantine. The Perspektiva Science and Technology Center, commissioned by the Otkritie Bank and the Rosgosstrakh Life insurance company, conducted a sociological survey on what awaits citizens if the coronavirus epidemic in Russia continues.

63.6% of residents (two thirds of the population) do not have additional savings. Many of them noted that they no longer have actual means of living until the next patch.

The remaining 36.4% added that they have a "safety cushion", but it may last no more than a month. A third of Russians (35% of them) said that they have enough available funds to live up to three months, but with strict savings. And only a few declared the possibility of a problem-free life for several years in quarantine or self-isolation.

There is no need to worry about the extension of the quarantine. The state is actively working to provide for the population temporarily unemployed.

Summarize

1. The purpose of the quarantine is to save lives.
2. A significant number of people do not have a "safety cushion" for long-term unemployment.
3. The decision on the extension of the non-working week has not yet been made.
