“According to the results of the 14th week of 2022, an excess of the average Russian incidence rates (65.24 per 100,000 population) was registered in more than half of the Russian regions (46 constituent entities of the Russian Federation),” the ministry said in a statement to TASS.

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stressed earlier that the coronavirus pandemic is far from over at the moment.

Rospotrebnadzor called for a careful approach to the removal of anti-coronavirus restrictions.
