Protsenko: only 5% of patients with coronavirus in Moscow are treated in hospitals

Denis Protsenko, head physician of the hospital in Kommunarka, said that about 95% of patients with coronavirus in Moscow are being treated on an outpatient basis. At the same time, he noted the importance of observing anti-coronavirus measures.

“Now is the season. We see patients getting sick. The good thing is that most of them are mild, and almost 95% of patients, according to our observations, are treated on an outpatient basis. But no security measures are ever superfluous, no matter what we are talking about,” Denis Protsenko told reporters during a visit to the Public Election Observation Headquarters in Moscow (quoted from TASS).

Of these, about 2 thousand people were hospitalized, which is 45.1% less than on September 8.
