“The healthcare system is doing well today. [...] The coronavirus is gradually receding, but it is too early to relax. We shouldn’t relax. Maybe there's a second wave, we must be ready for it,” he said during a meeting with heads of city and municipal district administrations held via videoconference on Monday, July 20.

Ivan Belozertsev stressed that it was still necessary to observe security measures.

“As soon as we start to relax, a problem arises. We shouldn't do this,” the governor said.
