“We are grateful to the Israeli side for its efforts to ensure conditions for the resumption of trips of citizens vaccinated with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine to Israel for tourist and pilgrimage purposes in compliance with the requirements established by the Israeli Ministry of Health,” the diplomatic mission said in a statement. The relevant information is also published on the website of the Israeli Ministry of Health, where the Russian vaccine is included in the list of vaccines that allow foreigners to enter the country from January 9. At the same time, the diplomatic mission notes that “technical nuances” remain, which could potentially complicate the entry and stay of Russian citizens in Israel. In particular, tourists vaccinated with Sputnik will need to receive a positive serological test result for the presence of antibodies to COVID, performed in Israel. Questions of entry of tourists from Russia will require “additional consultations through

The chief preventologist of the Ural Federal District, scientific director of the Society of Preventive Medicine Specialists, Doctor of Medical Sciences Sergey Tokarev and microbiologist, scientific director of the Mechnikov State Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vitaly Zverev are sure that the omicron strain deserves close attention. “It cannot be excluded that with direct and reverse zoonotic transmissions, a certain super mutant may one day appear. In no case should we engage in some kind of complacency that a soft “omicron” has come to us, that he will be like this all his life and the pandemic will end with this — I categorically disagree with this point of view,” Tokarev said. Zverev, in turn, recalled that the origin of SARS-CoV-2 itself is directly related to zoonotic transmission, which means that the “aggravation” of its properties may be repeated. “When a virus

NUR-SULTAN, January 8 – RIA Novosti. In the cities of Kazakhstan with a stable situation, the work of gas station networks is resumed, supplies are stabilized, refineries are operating normally, the Ministry of Energy of the republic reported on Saturday. “In the regions and cities of Kazakhstan with a stable situation, the work of gas station networks is resumed,” the ministry said in a statement.

In the morning it is sunny and clear – for a good harvest. Snow sticks to the palms — to warming. The north wind will bring a cold snap. A red sunset also promises cold.

He clarified how the universe was formed Hawking wrote his doctoral dissertation at a time of intense debate on the formation of the universe. Two theories competed in science — the stationary universe and the Big Bang. Both theories say that the universe is expanding. However, according to the theory of the stationary Universe, as the cosmos expands, new matter is constantly being created between the scattering galaxies. According to the second theory, the universe began to expand at the moment of the Big Bang from an ultra-compact, super-dense state, and this initial impulse remained in the past. In his dissertation, Hawking showed that the theory of the stationary universe is mathematically contradictory. Instead, he argued that the cosmos was formed from an infinitely small dense point called a singularity. Today, this Hawking cosmological theory is almost universally accepted among scientists.
