According to official data on March 11, 2021, the second wave of the epidemic in the Novosibirsk region is gradually declining. 97 Novosibirsk residents fell ill with COVID-19 during the day, 104 patients recovered. In total, 36,902 people were infected in the region, and 33,790 Novosibirsk residents have overcome the disease since the beginning of the pandemic.

The governor of the region, Andrey Travnikov, expressed gratitude to the company for taking care of the health of Novosibirsk doctors. "Yes, today we note that the incidence curve is going down.

"March 10, 2021 marked exactly one year since the WHO declared an epidemic of coronavirus infection. And we are very proud of our contribution to the fight against this disease. During the Areplivir – Doctors campaign, we managed to save hundreds of lives of medical workers, who, in turn, saved the lives of tens of thousands of patients," he explained.

Representatives of regional medical institutions noted the successful experience of using Areplivir and also thanked their Moscow colleagues for implementing a charity program in the Novosibirsk region. At the end of the working meeting, Senator Viktor Bondarev and Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Dmitry Pushkar, who participated in the meeting via video link, expressed gratitude to the regional authorities and expressed confidence in the speedy joint victory over the pandemic.
