Scientists predicted when the sixth wave of coronavirus will begin in Russia

Alexey Borovkov, head of the NTI Competence Center of SPbPU, head of the working group on mathematical modeling and forecasting of COVID-19, said that a new surge in the incidence of coronavirus could begin in June. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

He said that until spring, the incidence will slowly file, but in April a new increase is possible.

The scientist noted that in June a lot of tourists come to St. Petersburg, and a new wave may begin in this city in early summer. “If by that time a new subspecies of the strain arrives, and someone brings it to us, intensive mixing can give rise to another wave,” Borovkov explained.

According to him, a mathematical model of the spread of coronavirus for Moscow and St. Petersburg was built before the end of summer, since many events will occur during this time that could affect the nature of the attenuation or spread of the coronavirus infection.

Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor said that post-covid syndrome after infection with the “omicron” strain of coronavirus is easier to tolerate than in the case of other strains.
