The timing of the fifth wave of coronavirus in Russia became known

Virologist Sergey Netesov said that the current surge in the number of cases of COVID-19 could drag on for four months. This is due to the low collective immunity of Russians.

He did not rule out the scenario of a quick vaccination campaign, but urged to prepare for the worst. Netesov also said that new waves of coronavirus are possible in the future. They will be associated with the emergence of new strains.

Virologist Alexander Semenov added that a number of factors influence the spread of the virus and its mutation. Among them, global warming, the appearance of mosquitoes and other phenomena.
