News that can touch you directly

In Russia, an application will appear in the near future to track the contacts of Russians with the sick . It is developed by the Ministry of Digital Development based on the technology created by Apple and Google. The working name is “Stopkoronavirus. My contacts. " It works like this : the phone monitors mobile devices within a radius of up to 10 meters and records the contacts of their owners. If one of them gets ill and reports this in the application, then everyone who contacted this person will be warned. The personality of the sick is not revealed.

We talked with the organizers of the "folk research" of the Russian vaccine . The programmer from Omsk Vladimir Rusetskiy, together with his wife, became a volunteer in the study of the "satellite V". Later they decided to create a chat in Telegram, where other test participants could share their feelings. In the chat at the time of writing our material there were more than 800 people - and most are optimistic: "Not a single person from our group who knows for sure that he has a vaccine, has become infected."

In Siberia, perhaps its own version of coronavirus is formed, "with certain mutations." At the same time, according to the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova, the detected mutations do not make the virus more dangerous : “Everything that we see in the territory of the Russian Federation does not strengthen the pathogen, does not weaken the pathogen, we just see the smallest changes that can occur in it”

Halls of theaters, cinema and concert venues can be filled by no more than 25%. The press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov was asked if the authorities plan to support the injured industry. He replied that there were no such plans - because “television and filming do not stop, they are in no way prohibited, in compliance with all the requirements of our sanitary authorities. <...> All creative work continues. ”
