Media editorial offices in Russia received a fake newsletter with information about the first cases of hantavirus. Thus, outbreaks of the disease are allegedly reported in the Sverdlovsk region and Tatarstan.
According to the Ural Meridian news agency, the authors of the letter, on behalf of the region’s Deputy Minister of Health Elena Malyavina, ask journalists to publish information about preventive measures with a mandatory link to the source. Attached to the letter is an “official” document.
