Khabib Nurmagomedov : ’The disease is deadly’

 

The UFC champion, who returned to Russia last month and found himself stuck there once Russia issued its travel restrictions, took to social media to explain why it is important for everyone to play their part in limiting the spread of the deadly disease.

“Many hoped that the trouble would not land on their doorstep; many still do not believe in the seriousness of the situation. However, our negligence to the advice and requests of doctors, coupled with the panic created by the people, led to a high rate of spread of the disease, exacerbating the already difficult situation,” Nurmagomedov said to his 19.8 million followers on Instagram. “The fact is our hospitals are now overcrowded with patients. There are no specialists and not enough medication or supplies, while the number of patients is only growing.”
