Virologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences Anatoly Altshtein commented on the situation with coronavirus in Russia against the backdrop of the spread of the Omicron strain.
According to him, the daily incidence should begin to decline in the near future. The specialist noted that in different countries of the world, the “omicron” wave passes in one and a half to two months.
“I think that in the near future the incidence will begin to decline in Russia. Apparently, not at the end of this week, but next week it will definitely be, ”the virologist told the Moscow agency, emphasizing that“ it is premature to announce the end of the pandemic today. At the same time, Altstein admits that “this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic.” “From my point of view, we will reach the end somewhere, maybe by summer,” the scientist predicts.
The doctor recalled that “omicron” really rarely penetrates the lungs, but is still dangerous, because “in some part of the people it causes pneumonia.”
Earlier, Altstein stated that the peak of the fifth wave will be reached approximately in the first half of February and then everything will decline.
Recall that the daily increase in new cases of covid in the Russian Federation amounted to 141 thousand 883 cases, which is 16 thousand 47 infections more than reported a day earlier. 678 people died from coronavirus in the country per day.
