In a commentary to TASS, he noted that earlier forecasts of a victory over coronavirus with immunity in 60% of the population have been adjusted.
“You can make an absolutely clear forecast: if there is a herd immunity at the level of 80%, and it consists of two components - post-vaccination and natural - the disease will become seasonal,” Gourlov explained.
Over the past day, 22,041 cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Russia, 21,379 cases were reported the day before.
Rospotrebnadzor previously allowed a new rise in the incidence of COVID-19 due to unvaccinated citizens.
