FIRST CASE OF BRITISH STRAIN OF CORONAVIRUS IS CONFIRMED IN RUSSIA
A "British" strain of coronavirus that has been recently discovered is actively spreading throughout the world. According to the head of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing, it has also been confirmed in the Russian Federation – allegedly, a Russian who returned from the United Kingdom was infected with a new strain.
The fact of infection was confirmed in December 2020; the city of residence of the patient is not reported.
The head of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing, Anna Popova, notes that the state of health of a person who fell ill with a new strain is good - he does not have any symptoms. At the same time, infection with the standard COVID-19 strain was confirmed for 32 Russians who returned from the UK, with more than 7,000 tests passed.
According to Popova, Russian tests have the ability to detect a new strain of COVID-19 and vaccines registered in the country are able to protect form it.
The head of the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing adds that the "British" strain is not more dangerous than others, since it does not provoke a more severe course of the disease, although it may be more infectious.
In December last year, a new strain of coronavirus was discovered in the UK - after that, two dozen states have stopped air traffic with the United Kingdom. But, despite the measures taken, the "British" strain has already been confirmed in more than 40 countries around the world.
