According to him, there is a threat
The doctor allergist-immunologist Vladimir Bolyibok commented on the SPUTNIK radio interview to the decline in the incidence of COVID-19 in Russia. In his opinion, the threat of the spread of new strains of coronavirus is still high, including local.
Recently, Russia has a decrease in the number of patients with COVID-19. Nevertheless, the winter wave of propagation of coronavirus infection has not yet ended, and the incidence is reduced due to an increase in the layers of people having immunity in relation to the previously existing strains of coronavirus. - Vladimir Bolyibok, doctor allergist immunologist
The virologist does not exclude the possibility of entering the "exotic" strains of SARS-COV-2 or the appearance of the "own" domestic mutation of COVID-19.
Currently, according to the expert, the danger is great that there will be a small wave caused by the British type of the virus, which is already in Russia. Probably the threat of the occurrence and its own mutation, because mutations occur regularly.
There is also a threat to the country of any exotic mutation, since the international message still has and people move, and the danger, something will also be delivered. South African and Brazilian strains while in Russia are not recorded, but there is also a risk that it will appear tomorrow. Uncertainty is still available. - Vladimir Bolyibok, doctor allergist immunologistThe immunologist believes that with a favorable development of events, about the middle of the summer, the incidence of coronavirus infection may decrease to the so-called sporadic. According to a specialist, we are now at approximately at the level of the spring last year's peak. Vladimir Bolyibok noted that the spring was peak, and by the summer it fell relatively safely.
The immunist doctor also suggested that the likelihood of return in the future, on the spring and autumn periods, to the mask regime.
The probability of this is quite large. Currently, there are practically no flu, ARVI, seasonal raising the incidence of other sharp respiratory diseases. This suggests that the mask is still a fairly effective means of protection against any kinds of respiratory infections, including coronavirus and other seasonal ORVI. I think it will go into practice and on. - Vladimir Bolyibok, doctor allergist immunologistEarlier, the "Central News Service" reported that Professor Natalia sawdowed spoke about the ways to strengthen the immunity in the spring.
