Doctor of Medical Sciences Mikhail Favorov told when a repeated outbreak of COVID-19 will occur in our country.
So, according to the epidemiologist, from August to September the “epidemiological break” will last. The second wave is likely to happen in October, writes the RT in Russian portal.
People who catch the virus at this time will have a more severe illness than those who contracted it earlier.
Russia does not have enough immunized people to completely eliminate the threat of a second wave of coronavirus. The epidemic, according to the scientist, stops at 70% of those immunized.
At the same time, the expert warned that protective masks will have to be worn for another 2 years, and this is the minimum period.
– Understand, this not only protects you. The virus depends on the dose you transmit. When you put on a mask, the dose drops, – summed up the epidemiologist.
It is noted that since the beginning of the pandemic in the Volgograd region, coronavirus has been confirmed in 9,998 people. In total, 72 residents became victims of this infection.
