Six new coronavirus cases have been confirmed in the occupied Crimea. All patients returned from abroad.
Crimea.Realities portal reports this with reference to head of so-called “administration of Crimea” Sergey Aksyonov.
“Four patients are members of the same family and were on a cruise in the UAE. Two other patients arrived in the territory of the republic [Crimea] after visiting Lithuania and Belgium,” Aksyonov wrote on Facebook.
He noted that the diagnoses of all patients were confirmed with laboratory tests. Crimeans were hospitalized in the infectious disease departments at the peninsula hospitals and stay in separate isolation wards.
Earlier, the Russian “authorities” of Crimea confirmed the first coronavirus case – a man infected with Covid-19 had recently returned from France.
