“Monitoring data conducted by the Ministry of Health show that in recent days the number of children infected with coronavirus has been increasing,” the ministry said.
The department urged to refuse to visit any public places where children can become infected.
The ministry explained that, despite the fact that children do not get sick as often as adults, the virus "is just as dangerous for them."
“At present, in hospitals under the supervision of the Federal Resuscitation Center there are 11 children in serious condition,” RIA Novosti quotes the message.
During the coronavirus pandemic in Russia, two children died.
In Russia, 7933 cases of COVID-19 infection were detected per day in 85 regions in Russia. A day earlier, 7099 new cases were confirmed.
The total number of confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in the country has increased to 114,431.
Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Medical Sciences Alexander Lukashev, in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper, suggested that the weakening of restrictive measures due to the coronavirus in Russia would be very cautious, and it could take many months to complete the pandemic.
