Experts from the Crimean Human Rights Group state that the occupation authorities of the peninsula deliberately conceal the real number of deaths from COVID-19.
“The so-called official statistics on the incidence of a new coronavirus infection in the peninsula are underestimated, as they do not reflect data on infections in the ranks of the Russian army and law enforcement agencies, as well as in patients with community-acquired pneumonia. Furthermore. , the occupation authorities are constantly changing their approaches to recording mortality from COVID-19. “, – declared human rights activists.
The head of the “Crimean Human Rights Group”, Olga Skripnik, referring to the Crimean doctors, spoke about the tacit order of the “authorities” to hide the real death rate.
Russia annexed Crimea after an illegal referendum on March 16, 2014. Ukraine and most of the world’s countries do not recognize the peninsula’s accession to the Russian Federation. At the moment, there is a checkpoint regime between mainland Ukraine and Crimea, and Kiev does not de facto control the peninsula.
An outbreak of COVID-19 coronavirus infection started in December 2019 in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the coronavirus a pandemic.
