Rospotrebnadzor: there are no cases of “deltacron” COVID-19 in Russia – Russia |
March 16th. Interfax-Russia.ru – Anna Cherkashina, head of the scientific group of genetic engineering and biotechnology at the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, is talking about the growing prevalence of possible cases of “deltacron” in Russia.
“Today, in the international database of virus genomes GISAID, there are about three dozen such genomes, which is about isolated cases of this kind of spread in the world.
In Russia, according to experts, “deltacrone” has not been found to date.
Cherkashina noted that Russian specialists “follow publications on this topic and study the genetic diversity of circulating genovariants in the Russian Federation.”
According to experts, it is not yet possible to talk about the properties of a new woman, since there is not enough data yet to make any pieces.
“But already by the fact that tacron measures quite sluggishly, you can become infected, that it is not more infectious than other strains. More information is needed for more correct conclusions.
Earlier, the head of the technical group for the identification of WHO diseases, Maria Van Kerkhove, said that in Europe (France, the Netherlands, Denmark) a resistant strain “deltacron” was recorded, which arose when subspecies of the strain “delta” AY.4 and “omicron” BA were combined. 1/BA.2.
