"A total of 1.6 thousand children across the country are in stationary conditions, while the situation is stable," RIA Novosti quotes the head of the Ministry of Health.

According to him, children are more often sick in a mild form and are asymptomatic, but compliance with the rules of prevention for children is important.

On September 8, Murashko noted that about 90 thousand patients with COVID-19 are in hospitals in Russia, of which 2.5 thousand are in intensive care units.
