There is no measles epidemic in Russia, so citizens should not be afraid of this disease, aforementioned “Radio 1” Gennady Onishchenko, former chief sanitary doctor of Russia. Earlier it became known that all students of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) were transferred to distance education due to the spread of measles.

“Another thing is that in our circumstances this should no longer be the case. But a case is not an epidemic. If at one time a quarantine was declared at MGIMO, then these are illiterate people who should be fired from their jobs. This is not quarantine! This will not turn into an epidemic: we have population immunity, ”the expert emphasized.
Formerly a MGIMO student knowledgeable socialbites.ca reported that the university was closed due to quarantine due to the measles epidemic. According to him, the quarantine will last until June 13, during this period classes will be held remotely. This practice can also affect exams.
