Additional beds are being deployed in the Moscow region to treat patients with COVID-19

The Minister of Health of the Moscow Region Svetlana Strigunkova said that "in the fall, there is traditionally an increase in colds and viral diseases."

According to her, "this was influenced by the end of the vacation season, the beginning of the new school year, as well as the seasonal increase in colds and viral diseases."

“If, as of September 1, about 550 new cases of COVID-19 were detected per day, today there are already more than 1,000 cases.

Therefore, we are expanding an additional bed fund.

We are monitoring the epidemiological situation in the region and, if necessary, will propose to the governor of the region, Andrei Yuryevich Vorobyov, to introduce additional restrictive measures, ”Strigunkova said.

According to data as of September 24, 21,379 cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Russia per day.
