Good evening,

This is Meduza's mailing list about the coronavirus. It comes out on weekdays instead of Evening Medusa. If this letter was sent to you by someone you know and you have not yet subscribed to the mailing list, subscribe here .

Pulse

In Russia, there are only two regions left where not a single case of infection has been detected so far - these are the Republic of Altai and Chukotka. In the rest of Russia, 18,328 people were infected, 148 people have already died (18 per day). 1470 people recovered (179 per day).

In New York, the city hardest hit by the coronavirus, more than 10,000 people have died since the start of the epidemic. Nevertheless, the authorities say there is reason to believe that the worst is over . At least 29 people have died in Belarus with COVID-19, but the country's President Alexander Lukashenko still does not believe in the danger of the disease . in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra alone In Ukraine, where fewer than 500 cases have been registered since the beginning of the epidemic, more than 90 people have fallen ill . The monastery was closed for quarantine. Singapore, which has done the best in detecting the coronavirus, is seeing a spike in new cases .

You can always see the current situation with coronavirus in the world on a map or in a table . The data is updated once a day. On the map, data can be viewed in dynamics.

News that may affect you directly

In Moscow, they began issuing passes for moving around the city. You need a pass if you are traveling by car or by public transport. There are three ways to get a pass: on the mos.ru website, via SMS and by phone. None of these methods work properly . Passes should begin to be required from April 15, but Sergei Sobyanin has already suggested that the date will have to be shifted.

Things are still stricter in Chechnya. There, all residents were forbidden to leave their homes on Sundays .

Fraudsters have come up with several ways to make money against the backdrop of the coronavirus. They can offer compensation “for damage from the virus” and ask for card details, they can offer drugs for coronavirus ( they don’t exist ), they can offer credit deferrals. Be careful and warn relatives.

What else

In Moscow, due to the coronavirus, a polyclinic in an entire district had to be closed. According to one version, a “beautiful” patient with coronavirus walked through the hospital. According to another, the head physician got infected there . She is currently on a ventilator. We talked to other doctors who are fighting the coronavirus. It seems that they resigned themselves to the fact that everyone will have to get sick , since it is impossible to fully defend themselves.

Against the backdrop of the spread of the coronavirus, foreign investors have stopped spending money on Russian assets. in the first three months They invested only $200 million . For comparison: in the first quarter of 2019 - 50 times more.

China has restricted the publication of research on the origins of COVID-19. Works can now be published only with the permission of the Ministry of Education and the working group under the State Council of China. Now scientists believe that the virus was transmitted to humans from bats, but who became the immediate intermediate host is still not known exactly.

PS There isn't a lot of good news in this mailing list, so let us know what's going on with you while the coronavirus is around. And we will publish one story in each letter.

Here is what our reader Michael wrote to us:

Seven years ago, I donated blood to the bone marrow donor database. And a couple of weeks ago they called me and said that I approached one girl. invited for a more detailed analysis. Today they reported that I came up on 10 indicators out of 10. They say this is a very rare coincidence. In addition, the patient is in the same city as me, which greatly simplifies the logistics (already difficult in the current conditions), because most donors have to be invited from other cities. Like this. I rejoice at the thought that there is an opportunity to save someone's life.

We are also very happy!
