Young age today does not serve as insurance against a severe course of covid-19 , Russian Minister of HEALTH Mikhail Murashko said at a meeting of the presidium of the coordinating council to combat CORONAVIRUS.

“We have seen patients who are in intensive care with severe complications - and up to 30 years old. Young age, therefore, today is not insurance against the disease and its complications, ”he admitted.

The main feature of the current wave is the rapid increase in the number of patients who develop "virtually fulminant course of coronavirus infection." “Literally within two or three days, requiring resuscitation support,” the minister said.

Murashko clarified that this trend mainly concerns older people, but now young people from the age of 20 have begun to receive such treatment.
