"It is more correct to speak not about the second wave, but about a possible rise in the incidence during the period of seasonal increase in acute respiratory diseases," TASS quoted him as saying.
Chulanov said that in the fall, with the formation of school, student and work teams, conditions are created for the spread of viruses.
“And this can lead to some rise in the incidence. We do not expect a significant rise that was observed earlier, ”added the infectious disease specialist.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that, according to experts, there are currently no prerequisites for a second wave of coronavirus infection in Russia.
