Director of the Center. Gamaleya, academician Alexander Gunzburg believes that one or two glasses of champagne on New Year’s Eve will not have a significant effect on the production of antibodies to coronavirus in those who were shortly vaccinated against coronavirus infection. He stated this in an interview with TASS.
As the virologist believes, “it is not necessary to give up alcohol completely on New Year’s Eve, one or two glasses (…) will not interfere with antibodies.”
We will also remind that earlier Gunzburg told RIA Novosti that the drug for the treatment of COVID-19 based on monoclonal antibodies, which is currently being developed by specialists from the Gamaleya State Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, is also effective against the new strain of the omicron coronavirus.
We add that the new strain of coronavirus B.1.1.529, which contains 32 mutations in the S-protein, was first identified in South Africa and Botswana in early November. The infected were found in Hong Kong, Belgium, Israel. At an emergency meeting on November 26, the World Health Organization recognized B.1.1.529 as “of concern” and named it “omicron” after the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. Omicron has a large number of mutations, it also spreads faster than the delta type. A new strain of coronavirus with increased mobility has been found in more than 110 countries, including Russia.
