MOSCOW, April 28. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has ruled to prolong non-working days introduced due to coronavirus till May 11 nationwide during a session with the heads of the Russian regions in the format of a video conference.The coronavirus situation in Russia remains very tense and the country has not passed its peak yet, Vladimir Putin said.”The daily number of new cases of the disease has relatively stabilized. But this should not calm us down since the situation remains very tense. Specialists and scientists say that the peak has not passed yet,” the Russian president stressed.The lifting of restrictions after the country passes the peak of the coronavirus epidemic will not happen simultaneously across the country, President Vladimir Putin stated.According to him, even when the country passes the peak of the epidemic, the situation may remain tense in some regions, “which means that we cannot discuss any simultaneous lifting of restrictions, this is simply inadmissible,” the president said. “We must brace ourselves for having a difficult path ahead, on which all risks must be foreseen,” he stressed.
