The Ministry of Health announced a change in the treatment protocols for Omicron

Murashko spoke about this on the air of the Rosiya 24 TV channel. He clarified that the new protocols summarize the accumulated experience of foreign and Russian specialists and make it possible to provide assistance in case of illness as efficiently as possible.

The head of the department recalled that two strains "Omicrn" and "Delta" circulate in the country. At the same time, the minister said, "Omicron" may not be so difficult for pregnant women, but it also gives a lot of complications.

Murashko pointed out that there is also a risk for newborns to get sick, because vaccination is necessary after childbirth.
