“The episodic queues from ambulances at one of the multidisciplinary hospitals in St. Petersburg, which receives patients with coronavirus infection, are associated with an increase in transfers of patients from one hospital to another due to the detection of a coronavirus infection,” RIA Novosti quotes the message.

It is noted that the queues of ambulances appear for a short time. 

“But at the same time, they move quickly, and the machines transfer the patient within 30-40 minutes,” the report says.

The Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov called the situation with the spread of coronavirus infection in the city tense.

He noted that since February 3, more than 700 hospital beds in the city have been repurposed to treat patients with coronavirus infection.

Molecular biologist, virologist Pyotr Chumakov, in an interview with the FAN, commented on the situation with the spread of the omicron coronavirus strain.
