"We have been following an increase in the number of new coronavirus cases for the last two weeks. This is a serious increase," Golikova told a news conference, state television Russia 24 reported. On Friday, 9,412 new coronavirus cases and 186 deaths in 24 hours were officially registered in Russia, the most since May 23. Golikova said the increase was linked to the return to work of large numbers of employees as well as early autumn, the traditional season of infectious diseases. "But the situation is completely different from the one at the beginning of the pandemic in March and April. Doctors are ready, hospital beds are ready, we have enough protective equipment and medicine," Golikova said, urging Russians to respect spacing and wear protective masks. "We have no choice. Either we will respect the safety measures prescribed by doctors, or we will introduce measures to restrict movement, which we do not want and do not intend to take," she stressed.

Fifteen shalayka dogs (a hybrid of jackals and chamois, a Siberian hunting breed, created two years ago) that have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, have been trained since June to detect coronavirus-infected specimens. "These causes contain a small number of covid-19 DNA that has a specific odor," explained Aeroflot CEO Vitaly Savelyev . Dogs will be able to detect covid-19 sufferers by sniffing a passenger’s protective mask or a sample of their saliva. He specified that the first results of the project will be known in December. In Russia, 157,181 died in August, up 9.6 percent, or 13,787 more than the previous year, the Russian State Statistics Office announced on Friday. Of those, 7,463 deaths were linked to covid-19, and the virus was the leading cause of death in 3,863 cases, Rosstat said.
