You may need to be vaccinated to travel abroad . This was stated by Advisor to the Minister of Health of Russia Sergey Glagolev. According to him, PCR tests and antibody tests guarantee the absence of the disease for a fairly limited period of time, and with covid, people “will stay for many years . ”

Almost half of Russians are not going to be vaccinated . Over the summer, the number of people who do not want to put either a domestic or a foreign vaccine has grown by 8%. Now 45.6% of Russians do not want to be vaccinated , according to a survey by the Higher School of Economics. There are also significantly more people who consider the epidemic a fiction. At the end of May, there were 32.8% of such people, and now it is 43.4%.

What else

The Russian budget for 2021 was planned to be cut due to the crisis - but the Ministry of Finance abandoned this plan . The pandemic, combined with the spring fall in oil and gas prices, has led to a budget deficit. In July, this deficit was estimated at 5% of GDP, but now the forecast has been softened to 4%. For comparison, the US economy is projected to fall by 5.7%, and the EU economy by 9%. To deal with the deficit without cutting spending, you can either use loans or spend money from the National Welfare Fund. Both methods are not very popular with the government. We tell you whether the Russian economy will be able to quickly recover - and what problems it will face.

Russian medicine will “definitely cope” with a possible increase in the number of cases . Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov believes that the incidence in the regions is growing slightly and is caused by the start of the school year. There is no “landslide growth”, according to Peskov, and the healthcare system remains in a state of increased “covid” readiness.

Brazil will buy up to 50 million doses of the Russian vaccine . Deliveries should begin in November , the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said. According to RDIF head Kirill Dmitriev, Brazil is also ready to produce the Russian vaccine and participate in clinical trials.
