Rospotrebnadzor called reports about dangerous water in Novosibirsk fake | VN.RU

Posts are actively being circulated in messengers that water from taps in the capital of Siberia may be contaminated.

The messages also include an audio file in which a woman’s voice says that the ambulance service is recording a multiple increase in the number of calls with complaints of vomiting and indigestion. Novosibirsk residents are allegedly prohibited from drinking tap water. The Office of Rospotrebnadzor for the Novosibirsk Region informs citizens that the voice message that is circulating on instant messengers is a fake. The epidemiological situation in the region is calm. There is no increase in incidence, the department emphasized.

Water quality is controlled by the Office of Rospotrebnadzor for the Novosibirsk Region by conducting laboratory tests of samples taken at monitoring points. Let us note that several years ago, more than two hundred fakes, rumors and speculations about coronavirus infection were studied by Yandex analysts. The most popular fake news among Russians was the harm of vaccines; residents of Novosibirsk were most interested in Bill Gates’ plan, garlic water and worms in masks.
