Russia is reportedly experiencing a mysterious virus outbreak, with long queues of ambulances seen outside hospitals.<\/p>\n

But Kremlin officials have denied claims that an “incomprehensible virus” is spreading across the country.<\/p>\n

Videos circulating online show huge lines of ambulances waiting outside infectious disease hospitals in Moscow.<\/p>\n

The Russian-language Telegram channel Baza, which claims to be linked to the country’s security services, added fuel to the fire by sharing footage of the emergency service vehicles on Sunday, December 17.<\/p>\n

Baza reported: “A queue of ambulances at Infectious Diseases Hospitals Number One and Number Two in Moscow. Most of the sick people have pneumonia.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Baza claimed that about 30 ambulances gathered at the first hospital, and more than 10 at the second. This follows reports from Russian media outlet MK.ru that an “incomprehensible virus began to spread across Russia”.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin’s health department in Moscow moved quickly to calm speculation.<\/p>\n

It said in a statement: “The situation when several ambulances arrive for hospitalisation in an infectious diseases hospital is standard. The growth in the incidence of ARVI and COVID-19 in Moscow has slowed down; the figures for the last week do not exceed the data of the previous period.<\/p>\n

“And COVID-19 incidence rates have been declining for two weeks. Over the next one to two weeks, the incidence rate is predicted to reach a plateau.”<\/p>\n
