He also expressed the belief that COVID-19 would be defeated in 2020, and companies would pay more attention to testing their employees' health.

According to Dmitriev, a focus should be made on diagnostics systems development even when the pandemic is over.
RDIF and Japan's Mirai Genomics have created jointly a new COVID-19 diagnostics system, which can be used both at static and portable laboratories, and provide results within up to 30 minutes.
