Murashko spoke about the course of vaccination against COVID-19 in Russia

He said that "the pace of vaccination is gaining momentum in Russia."

“In some regions, which are leading in terms of the number of vaccinated citizens, we are already talking about isolated cases of the disease.

Now the country is dominated by the delta strain of coronavirus, and our advanced vaccine Gam-covid-vac (Sputnik V) allows you to avoid hospitalization of a patient if he nevertheless falls ill with this form of the virus, "Murashko quotes TASS.

According to data as of August 31, 17,813 cases of coronavirus were registered in Russia during the day.

In total, 6,918,965 cases of infection were detected in the country during the pandemic.
