Wear a mask and respect the social distance is still important, because the risk of infection by coronavirus is still there, despite the decline of the epidemic. Russians explained the Director of the research Institute of emergency care named Sklifosovsky Sergey Petrikov, reports RIA Novosti.
Petrikov said that infected people can pass on to others the virus into areas with large concentrations of people. According to him, wear a mask, if the person feels unwell, sore throat or nasal congestion. He added that such individuals may not be coronavirus, but can be cold or flu.
The expert stressed that the mask filters the air and protects surrounding, and prevents a drifting of the virus if the person touches their face.

According to him, to become infected, one must breathe “infecting dose”, which is difficult to obtain on the street. He added that the risk of infection will reduce, if included in the public transport ventilation at full capacity.
