In MSU revealed a case of measles in a student

A student of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov was diagnosed with measles. The university began anti-epidemic measures and transferred part of students and employees of one of the faculties to a remote format, according to the Moscow Department of Rospotrebnadzor.

Specialists of the territorial department of the department in the Western Administrative District began an epidemiological investigation on November 10. They identified a circle of contact persons and sent the administration of the university an order to conduct anti-epidemic measures in the educational building.

“The administration of the university decided to transfer to a distance learning format students and staff of the faculty, once vaccinated and do not have information about vaccination against measles,” the department said.

The regulation also provides for the restriction of full-time attendance for students and teachers who do not have information about vaccination or previously suffered measles, and vaccinations for epidemic indications. Emergency vaccination is carried out by the city polyclinic No. 209 together with the university polyclinic of Moscow State University.

At which faculty the case of the disease was registered and how long the restrictions will last, the report does not specify.

At MSU, similar restrictions were introduced in the autumn. In October, measles was found in a law student. After that, Rospotrebnadzor ordered to limit in-person attendance of classes for unvaccinated and once vaccinated students and employees, as well as organize emergency vaccination.

The university clarified on October 21 that students and staff who have been vaccinated twice or have previously had measles can study full-time. For the rest of the students who did not have confirmation of double vaccination or past illness, the distance regime was established until November 4.

Another case of measles at the university was registered on May 4 – from an employee of the faculty of computational mathematics and cybernetics. Then MSU also transferred classes to a distance, and Rospotrebnadzor ordered to conduct anti-epidemic measures in the educational building.
