Russia (bbabo.net) - Runny nose, fever, weakness and headache are the main clinical manifestations of the Omicron strain in patients, chief sanitary doctor of the Samara region Svetlana Arkhipova told the Regional Management Center.
- The strain is more contagious, and its spread rate increases, according to various sources, five to seven times, - she said. - At the same time, the "delta" is still detected among our residents. As long as he doesn't go anywhere. It is expected that there will be movement between these two strains. "Omicron" may take a higher share in the detection of residents of the region.
The doctor said that the very next day after contact with a sick person, a person can be contagious even in the absence of clinical manifestations. They may appear on the third or fifth day after infection.
- Unfortunately, vaccinated people can also get sick, but they will endure the disease in a milder form, without serious complications. A large number of people have already been vaccinated in the Samara region - more than 1.8 million people have received completed vaccination. And we do not note negative reactions to the introduction of the vaccine, says Arkhipova.
By the way
In the near future, a system will be launched in the region that will be able to directly determine the Omicron strain during a PCR study at the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology in the Samara Region.
