VOLGOGRAD, September 23 (RIA Novosti) - The outbreak of Hepatitis A that hit Nizhny Novgorod, a large city on the Volga east of Moscow, early September is under control, the Health and Social Development Minister told journalists Friday. Mikhail Zurabov said the system of communal services should be improved and that water supply had been disrupted in Nizhny Novgorod in late August, which could have caused the problem.
A total of 990 people, including 198 children, have contracted the disease in the city.
