Rospotrebnadzor responded to the message of the FMBA on the proportion of cases of "omicron"

Rospotrebnadzor was asked not to disseminate the findings of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency on the proportion of those infected with the omicron strain of CORONAVIRUS in Moscow wider than a certain sample of examined samples, RIA Novosti reports.

The day before, the head of the FMBA, Veronika Skvortsova, said that the proportion of those infected with the omicron variant in the capital, according to the FMBA, exceeded 76%.

“Undoubtedly, representatives of various structures, who made statements on the eve of the number of omicron strains, spoke only about the percentage of detection of “omicron” among the small number of coronavirus samples they studied. Thus, it is incorrect to extrapolate the results of this sample to the entire population, ”the Rospotrebnadzor explained.

The department continues to monitor the situation, they noted.
