MOSCOW, October 9 (RIA Novosti) – A serious outbreak of Ebola virus is unlikely in Russia, although sporadic infections among Russians who traveled abroad are possible, the head of Russia’s sanitary watchdog Rospotrebnadzor said Thursday.
“No hysterical reports have ever been made for the Russian Federation, and will never be made, because the situation is under control and all necessary precautions are being taken. It is certainly possible that contaminated people will come from abroad, but such cases cannot be forecasted accurately,” Rospotrebnadzor chief Anna Popova said.
She said Russia currently considers sending more teams of Russian doctors to fight the outbreak in West Africa.
“This issue is being considered,” Popova said.
