Professor Tim Spector in an article for the ZOE COVID Study website spoke about a new subtype of "omicron" - a strain of coronavirus BA.2.

'(Subtype) presumably even more contagious. One of the twenty new cases last week is attributed to this variant, every few days the number of patients with it doubles, apparently within a month it will become dominant, ”said Spector.

According to him, the high incidence of coronavirus, taking into account current scenarios, will remain so until spring.

Earlier, John Brownstein, a specialist at the Boston Children's Hospital at Harvard University, said that, presumably, a new version of the "omicron" strain of coronavirus BA.2 is harder to recognize than the original "omicron" BA.1.

The Ministry of Health of Russia issued a memo for patients with COVID-19 in a mild form. Those who have been vaccinated or have been ill with a positive PCR test result for coronavirus and no symptoms are advised to obtain a sick leave certificate and self-isolate, measure their temperature at least once a day. Those who have not been vaccinated with symptoms of SARS or a positive smear result for COVID-19 should call the clinic for a remote consultation, in case of deterioration, call an ambulance.
