The biologist predicted the spread of the "British" strain in Russia 

The "British" strain of COVID-19 is 56% more effective in terms of infection than the strain that was previously discovered.

Many patients with the "British" strain have now been found in the United States.

The American Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicted that this particular strain will become the main one in the United States by March.

I think that for Russia the same forecast can be given, ”RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

According to her, in the case of the new strain, contacts that could have been safe in the past can now lead to infection.

She noted that the new strain could spread like a "snowball" and hoped that vaccinations would help fight it.

Earlier it was reported that the first case of the "British" strain of coronavirus was detected in Morocco.
