The epidemiological situation in these cities is similar to the situation in the country as a whole and is characterized by the active spread of COVID-19 BA.4 / BA.5 subvariants with a predominance of BA.5 in the strain composition,” the report says.
Earlier it was reported that six cases of "deltacron" were confirmed in Russia.
