Russia (bbabo.net), - The peak of the fifth wave of coronavirus in St. Petersburg has been passed. Dmitry Lisovets, the head of the Northern Capital Health Committee, stated this VKontakte page.

The fact that the number of people on sick leave is not growing, but declining, as the head of the Komzdrav explains, allows us to say that the peak has been passed .

There are free beds in hospitals, even in children's hospitals, which were the most worried about, 36 percent of the beds are not occupied.

The situation is also stabilizing in polyclinics, which now account for the greatest load. A few weeks ago, the situation was complicated by the fact that doctors were massively ill in polyclinics. Now they are gradually leaving the hospital. About 1900 students of medical universities and colleges, as well as 500 hospital doctors and 300 volunteers were sent to help them.
