“There is no reason to panic, and this is demonstrated very well by the People’s Republic of China, which today almost stopped its, in general, quite serious outbreak,” Onishchenko quoted Interfax as saying.

According to his data on the dynamics of the incidence of COVID-19 in the PRC, the outbreak was finally localized in the Chinese province of Hubei, and the total number of new infections is decreasing.

According to Onishchenko, this is a confirmation that the infection can be dealt with.

At the same time, he evaluated the information campaign around the situation with the coronavirus, noting that it has “all the signs of a mixed hybrid information-terrorist attack”.

Earlier it was reported that 36 people were quarantined in the Moscow Region due to coronavirus.

It also became known that Roskomnadzor included at the request of the Prosecutor General of Russia in the register of prohibited information on a number of social media posts about COVID-19.
