Russia is ready to help the United States in the fight against the epidemic of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, if necessary. This stated Anatoly Antonov, Russian Ambassador to Washington, Interfax reported. “Ordinary Americans should know that Russia, if necessary, will be ready to help the United States, as it has repeatedly offered assistance in putting out fires in California,” the agency quoted. Antonov called the coronavirus pandemic a global threat, a challenge to all of humanity, which must be combated together and called on to reject the outdated logic of dividing countries into political blocs. On March 25, it was reported that the US could become the new center of the epidemic. According to the latest data, 55,231 cases of infection have been recorded in the country. 801 people died, 354 were cured. In total, more than 423 thousand people were infected with coronavirus infection in the world, more than 18.9 thousand were killed, 108.6 thousand were cured. An outbreak of COVID-19 disease caused by a new type of coronavirus was first reported in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
