(Fighting against New Crown Pneumonia) Putin: Russia's new crown epidemic has generally stabilized

  China News Agency, Moscow, May 22 (Reporter Wang Xiujun) Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the New Crown Virus Epidemic Prevention Conference held on the 22nd that the overall situation of the Russian New Crown Virus virus has stabilized.

  Putin said that in Moscow, where the outbreak was first discovered, the number of new infections in many other regions began to gradually decrease. He said that this positive trend is not as fast as hoped, and sometimes even unstable, but it does exist.

  Putin said that in the past two weeks, the total number of people inspected has increased to nearly 3 million, and the daily inspection volume has reached 240,000, and the number of inspections needs to continue to increase. He emphasized that the epidemic situation may occur again at the end of October and November, and it should be prepared for this.

  Russian Health Minister Murashko said on the same day that there are currently 108,000 to 109,000 people hospitalized in Russia for new coronavirus infections, of which 25,000 are seriously ill patients. All Russia has prepared 160,000 beds for people infected with the new crown virus. Some regions suggest that some of the beds prepared for people with new coronavirus infections should be converted into beds for ordinary patients for delayed surgery and examination.

  Moscow Mayor Sobyanin said on the same day that Moscow still needs to take strict self-isolation measures and implement systems such as wearing masks to ensure that the situation will not deteriorate.

  According to the Chinese Embassy in Russia, the second batch of humanitarian aid materials provided by the Chinese government to Russia arrived in Moscow on May 15 and May 22 in two batches.
