Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. Archival photoMOSCOW, Jan 28Lockdown in the future can only be justified in a situation with the spread of an extremely dangerous highly pathogenic variant of the coronavirus, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev believes in an interview with RIA Novosti and other leading Russian media. «For the future «It seems to me that a lockdown is hardly justified. Although never say never. One can, unfortunately, imagine a situation where a highly contagious, highly pathogenic, very dangerous strain appears, so dangerous that it cannot be more dangerous. And in this case, you have to announce that the lock is being hung up. But I hope that this will not happen,» Medvedev said. He expects that «events will develop in a different direction.»
