Incidence of ARVI and influenza is rising in Russia
Published
Over the past week, a significant increase in the number of viral infection cases has been recorded in Russia. According to Rospotrebnadzor, the total number of people who sought medical attention with symptoms of ARVI, influenza, and coronavirus has reached 665,000.
Experts note that the main reason for the rise in morbidity is the spread of seasonal viruses. Doctors emphasize that most cases are mild; however, elderly people and citizens with chronic illnesses should be especially cautious.
In connection with the current situation, preventive measures are being strengthened in the country's regions. Schools and kindergartens are conducting regular ventilation and disinfection of premises. Additionally, medical facilities have resumed strict monitoring of mask-wearing compliance in waiting areas.
The Ministry of Health reminds citizens of the importance of vaccination. The flu shot remains the most effective way to protect against severe complications. Doctors recommend staying home at the first signs of a cold and seeking professional advice to avoid spreading the infection in groups.
The situation is under constant supervision by authorities. Experts predict that the incidence rate may remain high in the coming weeks, so residents of Russia are advised to strengthen their immune systems, eat a healthy diet, and wash their hands more frequently.
