People share advice on safeguarding against the novel virus "Stratus", a concern for Russians.

In a recent statement, Gennady Onishchenko, a former chief sanitary doctor of Russia, has urged the population to take action against a new variant of Covid-19 named "Status." According to reports by "AIF," as of August 23, Rospotrebnadzor reported 384 cases of "Status" infection in Russia.

The exact nature of the rules for protection against the new variant, as suggested by Onishchenko, is not specified in the text. However, he has emphasised the importance of vaccination against the new variant. Vaccines for the new variant have already been supplied to the regions in Russia.

Onishchenko also highlighted the need for individuals to shield themselves from stress, but the text does not provide information about the impact of stress on the immune system in relation to the "Status" variant specifically. It is unclear if this advice is specific to the "Status" variant or general advice for managing stress during a pandemic.

The text does not specify if the 384 cases are new or ongoing from earlier reports. Furthermore, the current status of the autumn wave in Russia is not provided in the text. The text also does not provide information about the effectiveness of the vaccines for the new variant.

Onishchenko also stressed the importance of monitoring one's mental health in the context of the "Status" variant of Covid-19. However, the text does not specify if this mental health advice is new or a reiteration of previous recommendations.

It is important to note that there are no available search results indicating that the Russian government has recently conducted a vaccination campaign specifically against the "Status" variant. This raises questions about the government's response to the new variant and the measures being taken to control its spread.

As the number of cases of the "Status" variant continues to increase in Russia, it is crucial for individuals to stay informed and follow the rules for protection as suggested by Onishchenko. It is also important to prioritise mental health during these challenging times.
