Threat of Coronavirus Spillover Into Russia Increases - Senior Health Official

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The possibility of the new coronavirus spilling into Russia is increasing, Anna Popova, the head of the country’s Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare, said on Wednesday.

The official also called on Russians to limit all non-essential travel abroad as more countries worldwide have been confirming coronavirus cases on their soil.

Earlier in the day, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that Russia was working on a vaccine against the coronavirus after receiving a sample of the China coronavirus strain.

Russia has so far confirmed two cases of the coronavirus disease, officially called COVID-19.

The new coronavirus, officially named COVID-19, was first registered in central China in late December and has since spread to some 30 countries, prompting the World Health Organisation (WHO) to declare a global health emergency.
