In Moscow and Moscow region discovered a new strain of Covid-19

In Moscow and the Moscow region, three cases of the new particularly dangerous mutation of Coronavirus Ay.4.2, discovered earlier in the UK, were found. This was reported by the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova on the air of the First Channel, adding that “specialists carefully watch what is happening.”

Information on the discovery of “single cases” of the new version of the Coronavirus AY.4.2, which is a variation of a particularly dangerous strain “Delta”, was published by the news agencies of the Russian Federation last Thursday, but did not report where it happened. The head of the scientific group of the development of new methods for diagnosing human diseases of the Central Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor Camille Hafizov said that the discovery of a new strain could “give another additional impetus in the incidence of morbidity,” and recalled the need for vaccination as a single way to withstand a new coronavirus version.
