YEREVAN, MARCH 20, ARMENPRESS. Russia’s Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing has launched tests of a vaccine against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Federal Service said in its website.

The statement says the prototypes of vaccines have been developed in a short period of time.

Experts have managed to create vaccines based on broadly used recombinant viral vectors of flu.

New vaccines are usually tested on sensitive laboratory animals.

In late December 2019, Chinese authorities notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about an outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, central China. WHO declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus a global pandemic and named the virus COVID-19.




Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
