"SARS-CoV-2 will continue to pose a threat to the functioning of the health care system and will require active management measures, the key of which are vaccination and surveillance, at least for the next five years," - quotes the text of the document RIA Novosti.
At the same time, scientists were unable to determine the required scale of vaccination of the population and other measures for a period of 5 to 10 years, since this will depend on the effectiveness of vaccines, the response of immunity to re-infection and the evolution of the virus.
Earlier in England, 75 cases of the new strain of coronavirus infection "omicron" were discovered.
On November 28, the British authorities tightened the rules for entering the United Kingdom in connection with the spread of a new strain.
