Over the past week, the coronavirus incidence rate in Russia has jumped by almost a third compared to the previous week. This was announced on September 5 by the Federal Operational Headquarters to combat the new coronavirus infection.
In Moscow, from August 28 to September 3, 1,857 cases of infection were detected, 434 people were hospitalized, and one died. Nationwide, 1,172 people were hospitalized this week, up 13.2% from the previous week.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, the new strain of coronavirus has not yet become widespread in our country, due to which the incidence is noticeably increasing in Europe and the USA (the “Eris” variant). But even without it, a seasonal surge in ARVI, including covid infection, cannot be avoided, experts say. First of all, because crowding of people is increasing due to cold weather, the beginning of the school and active working seasons.
How to protect yourself? Epidemiologists urge people to remember about masks and respirators - to wear them in enclosed spaces where there are many people. Wash your hands with soap more often - this protects against many misfortunes, not only from Covid.
As for vaccinations, it is recommended to “refresh” them for people from risk groups who were vaccinated against coronavirus more than 6 months ago. These are people over 60 years of age, patients with chronic diseases, including bronchopulmonary and cardiovascular systems, tuberculosis, diabetes and obesity. As well as those who have primary or secondary immunodeficiency, including HIV infection, autoimmune diseases, oncological/oncohematological diseases.
