MOSCOW, June 23 — RIA Novosti. Skeptics who do not believe in the danger of coronavirus and neglect measures of social distancing, are the reason for a more prolonged period of extinction of the epidemic and the emergence of new foci of infection, told RIA Novosti expert in statistics and modeling, Center for economic research Aghasi Tavadyan.
Referring to the data of polls of Russians, the expert noted that 30% of citizens are skeptical about COVID-19.
“Skeptics do not wear masks and do not comply with the rules of quarantine, and social distance. As a result of skepticheski the epidemic will always be new outbreaks of the disease. This ensures a thick and long tail extinction of the epidemic, more infected and more deaths than this could be subject to quarantine to vaccine development”, — said Tavadyan.
