"The calculation was 300 thousand"

The Health Committee commented on the words of the deputy chairman Andrei Sarana about the incidence in St. Petersburg. The answer was published by the Fontanka.

The press service of the Committee reported that “the calculation was 300 thousand ill. [Andrei Saran] could be a little mistaken. ”

The “Paper” in the press service of the Health Committee stated that “the figure of 1.2 million was presented in January, not December.”

Earlier, the First Deputy Chairman of the Health Committee Andrei Saran, in the subcast of Komsomolskaya Pravda, said that by December more than 400 thousand cases of infection with coronavirus were recorded in the city. He told this, answering the question of how the authorities chose the number of 1.2 million vaccinated Petersburgers, which is necessary to create collective immunity in the city. According to Sarana, the working group took all the sick from the register and multiplied this number by five, since it is assumed that with the help of PCR tests in St. Petersburg, only one fifth of the total number of ill-fledged. From the resulting result, officials deducted pregnant, nursing, children, patients with severe side diseases and received 2 million people. From this number, the authorities took 60 % and received 1.2 million.
