Over the past day, 28,190 cases of coronavirus have been detected in the Russian Federation, 20,706 people have fully recovered, 973 patients have died - in Russia, the maximum daily mortality rate has again been updated.

During the entire observation period, the diagnosis of COVID-19 in Russia was confirmed in 7,832,964 people, of whom 6,894,285 fully recovered. The number of deaths reached 218,345.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, over 197.6 million tests for coronavirus have been performed in Russia all the time, including 362 thousand in the last day.

About 1.5 million people remain under medical supervision.

The department also assessed the situation with the incidence of influenza and ARVI in the Russian Federation, stating that the epidemic thresholds for the incidence of ARVI were exceeded in 62 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, mathematicians from St. Petersburg State University have calculated new scenarios for the development of the incidence of COVID-19 in Russia.

According to their calculations, by mid-November there may be from 920 thousand to 1 million people in the country who are simultaneously ill with COVID-19, the Izvestia newspaper reports.

“If the growth continues, and by the beginning of November the percentage increase will reach the level of 0.41%, then it can be calculated that the number of actively ill people can reach 1 million in the first week of November.

And this will be a record for a pandemic, the number of daily new cases of 35,000, ”said Viktor Zakharov, Head of the Department of Mathematical Modeling of Energy Systems of St. Petersburg State University, Head of the Center for Intellectual Logistics of St. Petersburg State University.

At the same time, according to him, if the daily increase stabilizes at the current level, then by November 10, the incidence can only rise to the level of 33 thousand new patients per day, and under the optimistic scenario, it will decrease to 26.5 thousand.

Meanwhile, specialist in especially dangerous infections, immunologist, doctor of medical sciences Vladislav Zhemchugov believes that one of the reasons for the high mortality rate from coronavirus is the delayed start of treatment.

“People think: it is necessary or not, they wait for a doctor for a long time, then they wait a long time for the analysis, and it takes 7-10 days only to start treatment.

And the virus has already become more severe - on the fourth day there is already severe pneumonia, "- quotes a TASS specialist.

According to Zhemchugov, in order to prevent a further increase in mortality from COVID-19, it is necessary not to delay diagnosis and improve treatment methods.

He also stressed that a new coronavirus vaccine will be needed if the effectiveness of existing drugs drops to 50% or less.

“Mutations of the virus occur constantly and continuously, and selection leads to the fact that it improves in its struggle, including against collective vaccine immunity.

And no one excludes the possibility that as a result of this mutation and selection, the immunity of the virus to vaccine immunity will decrease even more.

And if it becomes less than 50%, vaccination will become practically meaningless, and a new vaccine will need to be given.

We need to be vaccinated quickly now with what we have, so as not to go through another round, ”the immunologist noted.

In turn, infectious disease doctor Andrei Pozdnyakov said that coronavirus infection affects the reproductive function of both women and men, but the direct effect of the virus on genital cells is still being studied.

“SARS-CoV-2 affects the reproductive function of both women and men.

All the mechanisms of this influence have not yet been clarified, since little time has passed for the accumulation of data, "RIA Novosti quotes him.

He noted that "there will be no specific symptoms of impaired fertility during the course of COVID-19, regardless of the severity of the disease."

At the same time, a temporary decrease in fertility is possible after severe forms of COVID-19, as well as after a severe course of any other infection.

In addition, a pulmonologist, professor at the Russian National Research Medical University named after V.I.

N.I.

Pirogov, Alexander Karabinenko noted that breathing problems may occur after the postponed coronavirus.

At the same time, according to him, a special therapy is selected for each case.

“Some people have a prolonged bronchospasm, then it is necessary to train the exhalation.

Others, on the contrary, have a difficult breath, so it is necessary to train and strengthen the work of the respiratory muscles, ”he said in an interview with Sputnik radio.

Registration of "Sputnik V" with WHO

The World Health Organization may register the Russian vaccine against coronavirus infection "Sputnik V" for emergency use by the end of the year, if the signing of the necessary legal documents is completed in the coming days.

This was announced by a senior researcher at WHO Sumiya Swaminathan in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“We hope that Sputnik V will be approved because, judging by the data we have seen, this is a very good vaccine,” Swaminathan said.

According to her, at the moment the process has stopped, since there are a number of legal documents that must be signed by the Russian Direct Investment Fund and the WHO.

“The Russian authorities have assured us that these documents will be signed very soon, and as soon as this is completed, in principle, we are waiting for this, the assessment of the dossier will resume, the dialogue will resume, and then an inspection will be scheduled,” she said.

According to her, the exact dates of the inspection are still unknown: "If the documents are signed in the next couple of days, after which the assessment is resumed, then it is very possible that the inspection will also take place before the end of the year, and the process can be completed."

Earlier, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko noted that WHO has no complaints about Sputnik V, there were only questions about the package of documents that was attached to the vaccine.

Compulsory vaccination in the Moscow region

In the Moscow region, the requirements for compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 for service workers and those whose activities involve constant contact with people have been tightened.

We are talking about people working in catering establishments, beauty salons, transport, trade, fitness clubs, MFC, etc.
