“The most important story in this case is the difference between the number of those identified and the number of those discharged,” RBC quotes her.
According to Popovich, in Moscow this indicator remains positive.
“In Moscow, the number of those discharged consistently exceeds the number of those hospitalized and identified.
And this is a very good dynamic, ”she stressed.
At the same time, in other regions, including St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod, a different situation is observed.
“In many regions, the number of those discharged and recovered is less than the number of newcomers,” the expert notes.
At the same time, talking about the second wave in this case is not worth it, Popovich said.
“There are no formal signs of the onset of a wave, there is simply a difference between the past period and the new period.
A sharp, in a certain number of times increase in detection rate ... In Russia it is generally difficult to talk about this, because what was called the first wave did not end, ”she explains.
Earlier, the chief freelance infectious disease specialist of the Russian Ministry of Health, Vladimir Chulanov, said that he did not expect a second wave of coronavirus in the country.
Virologist Alexei Agranovsky, in an interview with URA.RU, assessed the situation with COVID-19 in Russia.
