Gennady Onishchenko promises to remove restrictions on the import of dried fruits from Tajikistan over time
Polio from Tajikistan, despite all the fencing sanitary and epidemiological events undertaken by the authorities, reached Russia. But these are only the last echoes of the Tajik problems, which are already at the end, and not the beginning of the new Russian round of the epidemic. Yesterday, the chief sanitary doctor of our country Gennady Onishchenko said that in Tajikistan “signs of stabilization appeared”, and assured that in case of further improvement in the situation, would remove trade and other restrictions related to the virus.Recall that since the beginning of May, the import and sale of nuts and dried fruits of Tajik origin is prohibited. “Given active trade relations, there is a risk of importing wild polyovirus into the territory of our country, including through contaminated food products. At the same time, dried fruits and nuts used directly, without processing, are particularly dangerous, ”said the Rospotrebnadzor, which accompanied the introduction of the ban. Then a number of restrictive measures were introduced related to the intersection of the Russian border by citizens who came from Tajikistan. Immediately after the first reports on the excess of the epidemiological threshold in Tajikistan, Rospotrebnadzor urgently recommended to remove all young Russian citizens from the infection zone. According to approximate data, there are about a thousand people in Tajikistan, most of them are children of stationed employees of the Russian contingent of the Armed Forces. All exported children were also instilled in addition to preventive purposes. From the first of May, the regime of sanitary monitoring of all aircraft and trains arriving from Tajikistan was introduced in Russia.
Nevertheless, the sanitary barrier did not become impassable for polio from Tajikistan. So far, ten cases of infection have been confirmed in Russia: three people have already become ill (in Irkutsk, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg), seven more are healthy, but are carriers of the virus and are under observation. The death of an epidemiologists caused the death of a visitor from Tajikistan in Yekaterinburg from a disease, the symptoms of which are very reminiscent of the symptoms of poliomyelitis. Now the diagnosis of this person is specified.
In Tajikistan, the third round of immunization ends. Nevertheless, the World Health Organization nevertheless considers it necessary to bring the matter to the end and is negotiating both Tajik sanitary and epidemiological services and with Russian ones. “We are in contact with the Ministry of Health of Tajikistan. Through the World Health Organization, the question is being worked out about to send in addition to our specialists, including epidemiologists, to provide assistance, ”Gennady Onishchenko said yesterday. He especially emphasized that this kind of help will not be financed from the Russian budget “If our specialists go to Tajikistan, then the money that Russia brings to the Tajikistan,” said the head of Rospotrebnadzor.
