MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd May, 2020) Russia's Gamaleya Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology plans to start the production of a vaccine against the new coronavirus by the end of summer, Director Alexander Gintsburg told Sputnik.

"We have deadlines proceeding from the fact that everything is being done under the conditions of the pandemic and so that by the end of summer we could start the production.
