Rospotrebnadzor: 'Stratus' COVID strain not new, known since Jan 2025

Russian health regulator Rospotrebnadzor refutes media reports that a 'Stratus' COVID-19 variant caused a mass outbreak among Russian tourists in Kazakhstan, stating the strain is not new and has been observed since January 2025. The claim is based on official clarification, but the actual epidemiological situation in Kazakhstan remains unclear. This matters as it corrects potential misinformation but does not indicate a novel threat.
