A new strain of the PJ.2.1 corona virus, which was discovered in Canada and is spreading in the USA and Europe, may appear in Russia in the near future or may already be circulating in the country without detection, writes Yade.

Moreover, even if a new version is imported to Russia, its mass distribution is not guaranteed.
