In Russia, there is a decline in the incidence of coronavirus. About this in interview Sputnik radio was told by Nikolay Kryuchkov, General Director of the KEG contract research company, Russian immunologist.
According to him, there is no need to fear a new outbreak of COVID-19 in December or early January. Kryuchkov notes that soon it will be below 30 thousand, while it is likely to remain above 25 thousand in the conditional period between waves of infection. During the holidays, a moderately positive anti-epidemic effect will also be observed, the expert added.
The most likely date for a new wave of coronavirus is the end of January, the immunologist announced. So, he notes that in late January – early February, one should expect a noticeable increase in the effectiveness of the virus. At the same time, Kryuchkov, this next outbreak of infection may be caused by the omicron strain.
Earlier, geneticist Andrei Isaev said that antibodies produced after infection with a delta strain of coronavirus. The founder and general director of the DNCOM Molecular Science Research Center notes that the large number of mutations means that the virion of the virus of this variant is structurally different from the virions of other strains of COVID-19. So, they have different proteins, thanks to him.
