WHO spokeswoman warns of possible second wave of COVID-19 in Russia

Moscow, Jul 10 (Sputnik) The second wave of the coronavirus may hit Russia "even tomorrow", if people lower their guard and do not pay enough attention to safety, the World Health Organization (WHO)'s spokeswoman in Russia, Melita Vujnovic, told Sputnik in an interview.
"No one can make forecasts, as too many factors play a role. There is a possibility it could happen even tomorrow, if everyone drops the guard and people start gathering in groups of 1,000 in closed spaces. Even if there is only one infected person there, this will be enough," Vujnovic said, when asked when the second wave could be expected.
At the same time, the spreading of the virus could be stopped if all those people immediately addressed doctors, underwent testing and self-isolated, the WHO representative noted.
