There has been a noticeable increase in coronavirus cases in Sverdlovsk Oblast.
The number of people infected with coronavirus in the Sverdlovsk region has risen noticeably. This was reported by the deputy head of the regional Rospotrebnadzor office, Anzhelika Ponomareva.
"Coronavirus infection belongs to the category of seasonal respiratory viruses. COVID is characterized by a trend of a slight increase in incidence. The average weekly increase is around 6%; in the last week — 20%," Ponomareva said during a press conference.
Both the familiar "Omicron" and a new strain, "Stratus," characterized by a high rate of spread, have been detected. According to the chief sanitary doctor, the coronavirus has already become part of the group of seasonal acute respiratory viral infections (ARVIs). The symptoms are also familiar: cough, sore throat, fever and weakness.
Recall that about a week ago Sverdlovsk physician Alexander Solovyov said that a new coronavirus strain called "Straus" would soon arrive in Yekaterinburg.
