Press Secretary to the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin will not introduce enhanced epidemiological security measures in connection with the appearance in Russia of a new strain of the Arcturus coronavirus.
“There are no changes (on holding face-to-face events with the participation of the President of the Russian Federation), and we don’t have any additional measures yet,” Peskov said.
The Kremlin continues to take some precautionary measures, the test system is maintained, but there is no talk of reinforcements yet, Peskov added.
Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor chief Anna Popova said an increase in the incidence of the Arktur coronavirus strain is expected in Russia in late May. A feature of this strain is contagiousness – that is, greater infectivity than its predecessors. Popova pointed out that even a small contact can lead to infection and the development of the disease.
