Infectionist Malyshev spoke about the likely increase in the incidence of COVID in the coming weeks

“There will still be growth, that’s for sure, the numbers will increase and increase.

Even before COVID, after the winter holidays, there was always an increase in the incidence until the end of the month, and sometimes until mid-February.

And now the “omicron” has overlapped.

And, of course, the process will continue further, ”RIA Novosti quotes Malyshev.

He also recalled the need to wear personal protective equipment.

“People themselves should think about it, limit their contacts, observe barrier protection measures – the same masks, the same social distance.

Yes, all these things are already tired, but life consists of them, ”concluded Malyshev.

Earlier, Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (PFUR) Sergey Voznesensky said that a six-digit daily increase in coronavirus cases could be achieved in Russia within a week.

General practitioner Irina Dobretsova, in an interview with Newinform, urged those infected with coronavirus not to self-medicate, as this can lead to sad consequences for the body.
