MOSCOW, August 24. /TASS/. The head of Russia’s Siberian Tuva Region, Sholban Kara-ool, diagnosed with coronavirus early in summer, had been infected once again.
"I am once again here, in an infectious diseases hospital. It’s COVID-19 once again. I am ill for a second time," Kara-ool said in a video uploaded to his official page on VKontakte social networking website.
He said that this time the disease proceeds differently, complaining of a splitting headache.
"Maybe, my workload prevented antibodies, immunity from developing after the first infection," he wrote on the social networking service. During the previous hospitalization, the region’s chief was discharged from hospital on June 4.
In late December 2019, Chinese officials informed the World Health Organization (WHO) about the outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, in central China. Since then, cases of the novel coronavirus - named COVID-19 by the WHO - have been reported in every corner of the globe, including Russia.
On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. To date, 961,493 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Russia, with 773,095 patients having recovered from the disease.
