Although winter has not even begun in Russia, the current situation in the Corona pandemic is already dramatic. In recent weeks, the number of infections had continued to skyrocket. Because of this, 90 percent of hospital beds are already filled with Corona patients.
The situation in Russia is becoming more and more problematic because of the further spread of the Corona virus. Now it seems there will soon be no beds left for new corona patients. Already 90 percent of hospital beds are full. In addition, doctors and nurses in most hospitals are already working at absolute capacity. This was confirmed on Tuesday in Moscow by Michael Murashko, the country’s health minister, to the Interfax news agency. Now they plan to increase the capacity of the beds in some regions once again, Then a total of 292,000 beds for Covid patients should be available. Every tenth patient in the hospitals has a severe course, confirmed Muraschko.
Last one had reported on the part of the Russian authorities again high infection figures. Most recently, 36,400 new infections had been registered within 24 hours. In addition, the number of fatalities is at an all-time high. 1,106 deaths within 24 hours is the highest value since the start of the pandemic in the spring of 2020. Because of the high infection figures, the Russian government had decided that workers and employees should stay at home for 7 days starting next week and get this time paid by their employers. Let’s hope that this measure will help to reduce the number of infections.
