According to the specialist, in the case of infection with two or more strains of COVID-19, the disease will last longer than usual, but this does not always mean that it is more severe.
“A disease caused by two strains at the same time can be more severe, but more often it has a protracted nature, since the immune system is not able to quickly eliminate the first strain that caused the infection, and upon contact with a patient whose infection is caused by another strain, into the body an additional second is included, ”explained Pshenichnaya.
RDIF earlier assured the effectiveness of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine against new strains of coronavirus infection COVID-19. Studies have shown that the neutralizing activity of the drug against new, more dangerous strains was higher than that of many Western vaccines.
