He announced this in a comment to TASS.
“It is rather difficult to estimate the share of super-distributors in Russia, our country is diverse, and the picture in different regions is variegated.
Therefore, in some regions, in which, for example, mass events are held, where people come without masks, do not observe social distance, crowd, hug, kiss, hang out all together, the share of super-distributors can reach 80% and even more, "Semyonov said.
According to the expert, it is first of all necessary to track such "super-distributors" in regions where there is a sharp dynamics of the incidence rate.
At the same time, he noted that in more or less calm regions there are fewer such people, but still, in most cases, it is people who do not comply with COVID restrictions that become carriers of the virus.
Semyonov gave an example of a cashier without a mask, who wears it on his chin and at the same time contacts hundreds of people.
“Customers usually approach the checkout clearly closer than 1.5 meters.
To reduce the risk of infection, in such a situation, it is enough that both the cashier and the customer are wearing masks, in public transport, similarly, everyone is wearing masks, not just a few.
Then no lockdown is needed, ”he concluded.
Vektor said earlier that in order to stop the active spread of the pandemic, it is necessary to vaccinate about 70-80% of the population.
According to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, more than 30 million people in Russia are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
