Rospotrebnadzor continues strict monitoring of the situation related to the spread of coronavirus. “The epidemic situation regarding COVID-19 in the world remains difficult, and in a number of countries it is tense. The virus continues to mutate. So, in India, a sharp increase in daily cases of the new variant of “Arcturus” has been recorded. Genomic sequences of the new strain have been found in 136 countries, including South Africa, Pakistan, Mongolia, the USA, Brunei, Chile,” the ministry said.
Earlier, WHO announced the end of the pandemic, while the organization’s director General Tedros Ghebreyesus noted that the virus continues to pose a threat.
The issue of vaccination and revaccination against coronavirus infection remains relevant. The Russian government has decided to change the format of informing citizens: from May 23, data on the incidence of COVID-19 will be published every week on Tuesdays.
