Tatyana Ruzhentsova, deputy head of the Moscow Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after Gabrichevsky Rospotrebnadzor, said that the fourth wave of coronavirus is underway in Russia, as evidenced by the high level of new infections.
“The figure is high, – said the epidemiologist, – we can already talk about the fourth wave.”
According to her, only vaccination can stop the spread of infection, including those who have already been ill – revaccination in six months. The expert also urged to observe the glove-mask regime, to wash hands and face more often.
Ruzhentsova added that the “delta” strain, which is now prevalent in the Russian Federation, “requires more protection.”
