According to Onishchenko, despite the fact that various viruses, including the flu virus, come from southern countries, in Russia they can take root and spread.
“The temperature does not matter here. In the bus, subway, apartment - he (virus. - RT) knows how to "fly over". So I’ve cooled off, I’m not eating up, I don’t have vitamins, the sun doesn’t light me up - my immune system sags and then he turns his shoulders. That is, it originates there (in Asia. - RT ), but here it is easier for him to find a victim in a cold climate, ”Onishchenko said.
According to the State Health Committee of China, the number of patients with a new coronavirus in the country increased to 617, of which 17 died.
