The Ministry of Health told about the difficult situation with the strain "delta"

“It seems to me that today in our departments, in our hospitals, virtually all patients, the overwhelming majority of them - 90%, have this most notorious delta strain,” TASS quotes him.

He also noted that at the moment there is a more severe course of COVID-19.

“More patients require oxygen therapy, oxygen support, including mechanical ventilation.

I can cautiously assume that virtually all of our ventilated patients today have this delta strain, ”he added.

Earlier in Russia, a case of infection with the delta plus strain of coronavirus was recorded.

In May, allergist-immunologist Vladimir Bolibok, in an interview with NSN, assessed the situation with the pandemic.
