According to the head of the Rospotrebnadzor Office for the Republic of Kazakhstan, the chief sanitary doctor of the republic, Dzhangar Sandzhiev, the first patient has been identified in Kalmykia, infected with the so-called British strain of COVID-19. “One person was diagnosed with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 coronavirus, detected in England last fall,” said Dzhangar Sanjiev, commenting on the situation with covid in the republic. – The focus is localized. The problem is that this strain is more contagious and harder to tolerate. But you should not panic and, in order to protect yourself from infection, it is better to get vaccinated. The Sputnik V vaccine, which is now being used to immunize the population, is also effective in the case of the British virus. “
