The developers noted the attempts of fraud with drugs from COVID-19

It is noted that fraudsters placed a number of private ads on well-known online sites where, under the guise of COVID-19 medications, "placebo is being sold."

“Thus, these drugs cannot help in the treatment against coronavirus infection,” RIA Novosti quoted the RFPI as saying.

The developers emphasized that such drugs cannot be purchased on the open market; they are issued to patients exclusively in medical institutions under the supervision of a doctor.

Earlier, the head of the RDIF, Kirill Dmitriev, said that Avifavir, a drug against coronavirus infection, would be free in Russia as part of the compulsory medical insurance.
