Andrey Isaev, founder and CEO of the DNKOM Research Center for Molecular Genetic Research, said that Russia could overtake France in the next two weeks in terms of cases of a new coronavirus infection per day, where over 400,000 cases have been detected daily in recent days. It is reported by TASS.

“The forecast of 100-200 thousand cases per day in Russia is not the most pessimistic, it is average. In fact, these numbers could be even higher. Even in France, with a population 2.5 times smaller and better vaccination rates, there are more cases. In the next two weeks, we can overtake France, ”said the expert.

He noted that the number of cases of coronavirus in this wave will exceed all previous figures. According to Isaev, due to the number of vaccinated citizens, Russia is "poorly prepared for this wave."

Earlier, the chief freelance infectious disease specialist of the Ministry of Health, Vladimir Chulanov, said that the coronavirus infection provoked by the Omicron strain does not have unique symptoms.
