The Ministry of Health has recorded 8 coronavirus deaths since morning, bringing the death toll to 875.
Indicates that 1,809 new ones have been diagnosed in the last 24 hours.
Of the 20,729 active cases, 404 are in serious condition, adding up to 119 fans. Another 165 are in a moderate state, others with mild or nonexistent symptoms.
The ministry says 34,042 tests were conducted yesterday.
The mayor of Moscow is inviting citizens to participate in trials of a coronavirus vaccine that Russia approved this month in what officials described as a step ahead of the launch of the Soviet Union’s first satellite in 1957.
The world’s first coronavirus vaccine to obtain government ecological protection has caused unease among foreign medical experts, who have characterized Russia’s accelerated approval and lack of percentage knowledge that supports claims of vaccine efficacy as a primary violation of clinical protocol.
Scientists around the world say that any widely used vaccine will first need to be tested in complex trials involving tens of thousands of people to be effective before licensing.
In his invitation to the people of the Russian capital, Moscow’s mayor Sergei Sobianin announces that such general studies will soon be introduced. He said the “post-registration search” will last six months and involve 40,000 people.
Sobianine encourages moscow citizens to register, saying the vaccine was based on long-standing studies and proved safe.
“We were all looking ahead to create a vaccine, and now we have it,” Sobyanin says. “Now, the other people in Moscow have an exclusive opportunity for the main participants in clinical studies that will help defeat the coronavirus.”
World Health Organization scientists said last week that they had started talks with Russia about their vaccine, but had not yet gained detailed knowledge of the vaccine.

Likud is in turmoil after prosecutors said police simply could not save open-air protesters from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home from blocking the roads.
“The right to protest does not come with the right to block roads and violate police instructions,” the party said, according to news website Ynet. “This is not what the rule of law and democracy look like, but a violent anarchy. It turns out that everything is more kosher when it comes to overthrowing Prime Minister Netanyahu.”
The anti-Netanyahu protests, which take place twice a week in Jerusalem, attract thousands of them.
Chimney service said the number of chimneys on Wednesday through airborne incendiary devices from Gaza increased to 33.
Most of the fires in southern Israel were “small and dangerous,” he said.

A chemical used in insect repellents can kill the guilty coronavirus strain of COVID-19, according to an initial British Defence Laboratory published Wednesday.
Scientists at the Defense Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) have discovered that Citriodiol, the active element in repellents such as Mosi-guard, has antiviral properties when combined with the liquid-phase virus and a control surface.
“Mixing a viral suspension with the Mosi-guard spray or certain constituent parts resulted in relief in SARS-CoV-2,” he says.
At a maximum concentration, “Mosi-guard gave a significant decrease … resulting in non-recoverable viruses,” he adds.
Citriodiol is made from the oil contained in the citriodora eucalyptus leaves and twigs, discovered in Asia, South America and Africa, and is already known to kill other coronaviruses.
The paintings have not been reviewed by external peers, and the Ministry of Defence stated that it intends to “serve as a basis for other clinical bodies to seek the virus and imaginable solutions.”

Belarusian Svetlana Alexievich, a Nobel laureate, said she refused to answer investigators’ questions after being called as a witness in an unscrupulous investigation into the opposition.
Opponents of President Alexander Lukashenko have formed a coordinating council to oversee a nonviolent force transition after rejecting his claim to win a sixth term in a presidential vote on August 9.
Lukashenko sent security to violently suppress mass protests opposing his re-election and opened a criminal investigation into the council, accusing his members of seeking to overthrow his government.
Alexievich, appointed chairman of the council, did not attend his sessions.
“I am absolutely calm. I don’t feel guilty. Everything we do is legal and necessary,” Alexievich told the AFP upon arriving at the headquarters of the Investigative Committee in Minsk with other members of the presidium.
She left soon after, claiming that she had invoked her right not to testify against herself and that the only purpose of the council was to “unite society.”
Alexievich, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2015, criticizes Lukashenko and supported opposition figure Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who fled to neighboring Lithuania after claiming victory in the vote.

The tsar of the coronavirus, Ronni Gamzu, congratulates the Ukrainian for ending his borders to foreigners in September.
This resolution will prevent thousands of Israeli pilgrims from visiting Uman’s pilgrimage in Rosh Hashanah, who fear that Israel could cause a major COVID-19 infection.
“This is a kind and guilty resolution that will benefit thousands of people in Israel and Ukraine,” he said, according to army radio.
Ukraine’s president said Tuesday that Ukraine would “significantly limit” Jewish visitors’ access to Rosh Hashanah next month at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but did not specify the extent to which Hajj would be limited. The city sees tens of thousands of Hasidic Jews visiting Rabbi Nachman’s tomb of Bratslav for rosh Hashanah’s dinner, which begins this year on the night of September 18.
In response to a high court request to prevent him from handling judicial appointments due to the corruption cases he has recently faced in court, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he would play no role in appointing senior officials from the Ministry of Justice or the Israeli police commissioner.
“The Prime Minister has announced that, for the sake of public clarity and without undermining his claims [that it is legally legal to do so], he will deal with the appointment of the Attorney General, the Attorney General and the Police Commissioner.” says the reaction to the Movement’s request for a Quality Government filed on Netanyahu’s behalf.
The anti-corruption organization seeks to prevent you, the Prime Minister, from worrying about the appointments of officials who may have an effect on corruption cases in which you are being prosecuted for corruption, fraud and abuse of trust.
The UN nuclear control agency said Tehran had agreed to allow inspectors to stop at two sites where Iran is suspected of storing or not declaring nuclear materials.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran “voluntarily provided the IAEA with access to the two sites specified through the IAEA and facilitated IAEA verification activities to the problems.”
He said the dates of the inspections had been agreed, but he said when they would be carried out.
Iran had resisted the sites, believed to be going back to the early 2000s, before signing the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, saying the IAEA had no legal basis to stop at them.
The announcement came after IAEA director-general Rafael Grossi visited Iran to lobby and Iranian nuclear agency chief Ali Akbar Salehi showed that Iran had accepted the inspections.
It is known whether one of these sites is the warehouse informed through Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an old nuclear facility, after a Mossad operation.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backs the crownvirus’s tsar, Ronni Gamzu, following the complaint of the most sensible fitness officer through a Likud lawmaker.
Netanyahu said he “appreciates his committed paintings and asks him to cooperate with him,” referring to Gamzu.
Likud MP Miki Zohar had criticized Gamzu for trying to save the Israelis from traveling to Ukraine for a rosh Hashanah pilgrimage, but did not seek to end mass protests against the prime minister due to alleged media fear.
Since then, Ukraine has sealed the border with foreigners until September.
The camera footage on the road shows the moments after the knife attack in Petah Tikva, in which the alleged assailant, dressed in a white shirt, can be seen away from the scene.
In the video, you can see him crossing a street, followed by a guy in a bright blue shirt. Then another civilian can be seen chasing him, and soon after, a police car arrives at the scene.
Beyond the scene, filmed through a passerby, police officers can be seen with firearms arresting the suspect.

We urge them not to seek to build a “government within a government” and unite and paint in combination on behalf of the other people of Israel.”
Bahrain says it is determined to create a Palestinian state in talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, implicitly rejecting its pressure for Arab countries to temporarily normalize relations with Israel.
Pompeo was in Manama as part of a path to the Middle East aimed at strengthening ties between the Jewish state and the Arab world after a historic agreement negotiated across the United States with the United Arab Emirates.
However, the king of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, said he had told Pompeo that his country remained committed to the Arab Peace Initiative, which calls for Israel’s total withdrawal from captured territories in 1967 in exchange for peace and the full normalization of relations.
“The king the importance of intensifying efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinian confrontation under the two-state solution … the creation of an indefinite Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital,” reports bahrain’s official News Agency (BNA).

Manama, whose contacts with Israel date back to the 1990s, was the first Gulf country to welcome the RESOLUTION of the United Arab Emirates and considered a pioneer in following in its footsteps.
