“Due to the fact that COVID-19 is increasingly acquiring the features of a seasonal infection, the epidemic process of SARS-CoV2 can also be activated in the fall,” RIA Novosti quotes her words.

Pshenichnaya stressed that in autumn there is an increase in the incidence of many respiratory infections, including seasonal coronaviruses.

Earlier, the head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, expressed hope that the coronavirus pandemic in Russia could end in the foreseeable future, but COVID-19 itself would not go away.
