Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov spoke about how the country is prepared for an increase in the incidence of coronavirus infection due to the spread of a new strain.

Peskov recalled that the country's authorities did not initially doubt that the omicron would come to Russia. When compiling the proportion to calculate the spread of the omicron, the population of the country must be taken into account. A Kremlin spokesman stressed that fewer people live in the country than in the United States. At the same time, the current situation poses a "great danger", but it is a reality.

“This was predicted by the government,” Peskov said.

He added that appropriate measures were taken to a possible next wave.

Previously, the deputy head of the center. Gamalei Denis Logunov said that this winter, an increase in the incidence of the omicron COVID-19 strain may begin in the Russian Federation. According to Logunov, the number of new cases of coronavirus will increase, presumably in January-February.
