Russian President Vladimir Putin said he understood that people were tired of pandemics, but called on them not to forget that COVID-19 is a very dangerous and quiet enemy.
"Masks, social distance and things like that, especially education, certain restrictions in the workplace, isolation ... of course, people are tired of all this, and I understand that very well. "But strangely, people still do not always feel, understand and therefore do not believe that the whole world, including us, is facing a very dangerous enemy," Putin said at a government meeting.
The President added that infectious diseases, including coronavirus, are a quiet, invisible and very dangerous enemy.
