Good morning kevin well basically russias put together a 3 stage plan and the 1st stage some shops and services will begin functioning again and people will be able to take walks with children as well as exercise outside again stage 2 will be the reopening of schools and larger shops thats thats going to mean that people will be able to walk with their families on the streets in larger groups again and by stage 3 the government expects to reopen parks as well as shops and restaurants with social distancing still in place for a period of time now we dont know how long the stages are expected to last or when this plan will even be implemented but moscow is already the kremlin has already said that theyre going to need some flexible decision making. And yes miseries and of course life is much more complicated than any plan and nevertheless its important to have a reasonable if you verified algorithm of actions for each region of the country taking into account the opinions of specialists so we see that the situation with the spread of coronavirus in each of the regions is different as ive already said in one region tough justified preventative measures need to be maintained or even toughened and in others its possible to plan to ease them if justified but thats only possible based on the opinion of scientists and specialists and taking into account all factors and possible risks i emphasize again we must not run ahead of ourselves with any negligence or haste can cause a breakdown or rollback to the price of the slightest mistake is the safety of life and health of our people therefore the responsibility for the decision is extremely high and.

Now whether or not the amount of cases is actually rising this virus has no doubt taken its toll on russias leadership a number of top deputies including the Prime Minister have to have had to take a step back from their duties after they were diagnosed with cope at 19 so hopefully once this 3 step plan of rushes is implemented the country will be able to avoid a 2nd wave or 3rd wave of the pandemic.
