New COVID-19 Strain: What Lies Ahead for Russia and Whether a New Lockdown Is Needed
Published
A new strain of the COVID-19 coronavirus is spreading around the world. This is reported by the publication Pravda.Ru. According to journalists, the virus has changed and become seasonal, like influenza and other respiratory infections.
A seasonal nature means that infection rates may rise and fall at certain times of the year. According to the publication, this means that severe scenarios for the development of the situation should not be expected. The material concerns the spread of the infection, not a new serious threat to people's health.
Separately, the publication examines how realistic a new lockdown in Russia is. In the author's view, the introduction of a lockdown in the near future is unlikely. Detailed statistics on infection rates are not provided in the article.
Thus, according to the source, the new strain does not require panic. Nevertheless, readers should follow official reports from Rospotrebnadzor and the Ministry of Health, which publish up-to-date information on the situation and recommendations.
