"Currently, in the world and in Russia ... a tense epidemiological situation remains due to the change in different genovariants of the coronavirus," Gorelov said in an interview with TASS.

In his opinion, each change in the dominant genovariant is usually accompanied by an increase in morbidity.

“Having reached the maximum values, we will enter the stage of stabilization, which, according to epidemiological laws, continues for about a month or a month and a half,” the epidemiologist noted.

According to the doctor, only then a gradual decrease in cases of COVID-19 will begin.

Earlier, Rospotrebnadzor told about the timing of stabilization of the situation with coronavirus.
