Russia: New measures may not be enough to deal with COVID-19
Russia is facing a shortage of beds and doctors after years of medical layoffs and hospital demolitions.
In Russia, a new infectious diseases hospital is rapidly being built outside Moscow, and extra beds have been added to the existing ones. But medical experts say these hospitals lack the specialists COVID-19 patients need.
Many fear, the decision to save money could have a serious effect on COVID-19 patients.
