This was reported in the operational headquarters.

The day before, 1,505 patients with COVID-19 were admitted to hospitals. 

Earlier it became known that Rospotrebnadzor recommends that citizens from risk groups wear masks in public places to reduce the likelihood of coronavirus infection.

Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Onishchenko recalled in a conversation with the FAN about the importance of revaccination against COVID-19.

He noted that there is an increase in cases due to new variations of "omicron" BA.5 and BA.2, which are more contagious.
