Over 170,000 remain under medical supervision over coronavirus in Russia

Nearly 173,000 citizens remain under medical supervision in Russia over a suspected coronavirus infection, the sanitary watchdog said on Sunday, Trend reports citing TASS.

"A total of 173,000 people remain under medical supervision in Russia," the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing said.

Over 2.8 mln tests for the coronavirus have been carried out, including 156,000 over the past day, according to the watchdog.

In late December 2019, Chinese officials notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about the outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, in central China. Since then, cases of the novel coronavirus - named COVID-19 by the WHO - have been reported in every corner of the globe, including Russia.
