In the event of a deterioration in the epidemiological situation on the ground, restrictive measures can be restored in certain regions, writes RIA Novosti with reference to the department.

Rospotrebnadzor added that the country has seen an increase in the proportion of new sub-variants of the Omicron strain in the strain composition, but the disease leads to fewer severe cases and is milder.

“In this regard, according to expert estimates, the risks of a sharp increase in the burden on the healthcare system are insignificant,” the ministry stressed.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health of Russia informed that the country is experiencing a stabilization of the epidemic situation for coronavirus infection.
