He noted that fever and coronavirus infection is "a very bad combination."

“Once again, if the mild course of covid, which we can control, is not a problem in this case, then complications associated with fever can be fatal and are fatal for elderly patients,” TASS quotes him.

Protsenko stressed that in order to minimize risk factors, it is necessary to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Protsenko believes that the virus will weaken when the vaccination phase is completed.

He also expressed the hope that there will be no new wave of COVID-19.

Earlier, the infectious disease doctor Yevgeny Timakov said that cases of coronavirus infection were recorded in the world for the third time.

As the NSN reported, State Duma deputy, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, former chief sanitary doctor of Russia Gennady Onishchenko urged Russians to be vaccinated against coronavirus.
