Please stop reporting these articles as more people will refuse it and make the spread, infection and deaths rise. We need positive journalism in times like these.
elenaevdokimov7 Any link to the paper? Sounds worrying, but with these small numbers?...

None of the 2000 patients in the study died or were hospitalized
