Annoying nightmare: deadly fever may break out in Russia

The disease is already widespread in more than 110 countries around the world.

On the same day, Rospotrebnadzor reported that an imported case of chikungunya fever was first recorded in the Russian Federation, and the patient was hospitalized in a moderate condition. It was clarified that there are no risks of infection spreading in the country, since fever is transmitted through insect bites, and not from person to person. In addition, the number of mosquitoes carrying the infection in Russia is not dangerous.
