Namely: an active lifestyle, sports, walking in the fresh air, proper nutrition, vitamins and proper treatment for chronic diseases, which may be complicated by coronavirus infection. This all is what the health resort complex was created for, and this is what its further development and maximal demand for its services are based on," said Vadim Volchenko.
