Russia’s Coxsackie Surge Eased After August Peak, Health Officials Say

Officials attribute the slowdown to the seasonal arc of enteroviruses, with intensified disinfection in child-care facilities.

Overview

  • Rospotrebnadzor reported that the 2025 rise in non-polio enterovirus cases peaked in August and has since stabilized due to sanitary measures.
  • Krasnoyarsk Krai’s health authority echoed the federal assessment, citing the same August peak and subsequent stabilization.
  • Bashkortostan’s Health Ministry said there is no outbreak in Ufa and the city’s infectious disease hospital recorded no Coxsackie cases over the past week.
  • Parent reports compiled by the Telegram channel Baza described infections in Ufa, Orel, Vladimir, Tyumen, Novosibirsk, the Arkhangelsk region, and Krasnoyarsk Krai, largely involving young children.
  • Rospotrebnadzor noted most illnesses are mild though some require hospitalization, with transmission via fecal–oral and respiratory routes and urged handwashing and safe water and food practices.
