Predicted timing of stabilization of the incidence of coronavirus in the Russian Federation

Immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov said in an interview with Izvestia when the situation with coronavirus could stabilize in Russia.

According to him, this will happen by May, if a new strain of COVID-19 does not appear.

“In Denmark, the omicron subline - BA.2 - provoked a powerful outbreak of the disease. In other countries, we do not see BA.2 causing a large increase in incidence. I think outbreaks are likely to be avoided, ”said the specialist.

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, said that two strains of coronavirus infection, omicron and delta, are circulating in the country. Their ratio is 1 to 2.

Prior to this, researchers from Denmark determined that the omicron BA.2 subspecies is even more contagious than its predecessor. BA.2 or "stealth omicron" was discovered in Algeria in January.
