"The plateau is a parallel line and the WHO has objective data that indicate that the level of infection does not change for a certain time ... It is difficult to argue with this, it is just an interpretation of the results that are available," said the virologist.
He also told in what cases the incidence rate will fall.
“Nothing has changed in terms of the spread of the infection.
This is the reproductive number, which determines how many people an infected person infects, the lower it is, the correspondingly lower the registration of coronavirus cases will be.
So far, according to the experience of all countries, the only possible option is vaccination, ”said Kolbasov.
Earlier, the expert of the World Health Organization (WHO) Maria van Kerkhove said that the world has reached a plateau in terms of the incidence of coronavirus infection COVID-19.
