WHO reports increase in COVID-19 infections in Russia and two other countries

Among European countries, an increase in the level of infection with covid-19 is noted in RUSSIA, Great Britain and Portugal, a representative of the organization Melita Vujnovic said in an interview with TASS.

“Now there is an increase in cases [of CORONAVIRUS infection] in three countries: the Russian Federation, the UK and Portugal. Unfortunately, we see an increase in cases here, and this worries these countries themselves, their HEALTH systems and us, because we hoped that the summer would allow us to rest, but the situation is what we see,” the WHO representative said. She noted that the epidemiological situation in the world is changing very quickly.

The WHO representative also named COVID-19 as the second cause of death in the world after myocardial infarction.

Vujnovic urged to plan a vacation so as not to be in a crowd where the risk of coronavirus infection is growing, as well as to wear a mask and get vaccinated. “Even if you are vaccinated or have been ill, you must wear a mask. Because even if the person who was vaccinated does not get sick, the virus will still pass through his body, become smarter, and at some point this virus is transmitted to another person - even asymptomatically, ”she concluded.

In Russia, in June, there is an increase in coronavirus infections, most of the cases in Moscow.
