The incidence rate of coronavirus in Russia is declining, head of the Federal Medical Biological Agency (FMBA) Veronika Skvortsova said.

"It's hard to forecast how long we will remain at a stable level; it can be described as a plateau. It depends on many factors. We see that the number of hospitalizations is decreasing, and the share of asymptomatic cases is high," Skvortsova said at a press conference on Friday.

"The number of admissions [of new patients] has decreased, free beds and spaces in ICUs are available, as well as ventilators; this is a sure sign that the process is reversing," she said.
