This was announced by the head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov at a meeting of the regional operational headquarters to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

“We have not yet received confirmation, but by 90 percent, most likely, the test will be positive,” RIA Novosti quoted Aksyonov as saying.

He said that "the woman returned from Moscow, worked in Moscow," and "her brother was in an Armenian hospital with a hypertensive crisis."

“He contacted as much as possible with patients, doctors,” said the head of the region.

He noted that at the moment “the entire hospital of Armyansk is in danger of quarantine,” and added that “the hospital has stopped discharging and receiving patients.”
