Russia will soon pass the peak of the incidence of coronavirus, in the next week or two it will begin to decline, said Sergey Netesov, head of the laboratory of bionanotechnology, microbiology and virology at Novosibirsk State University, in an interview with Izvestia.

According to the scientist, it is not yet possible to say whether the peak of the new wave of the pandemic in the country has passed or not, the picture will become clearer by the end of next week.

“Judging by the dynamics of the incidence in Western Europe, this peak should decline in the next week or two. Because Russia is two to three weeks behind Europe in terms of the dynamics of cases, and we are almost simultaneously in terms of the dynamics of the incidence with Turkey, ”he said. According to Netesov, it is from this country that COVID-19 has been “imported” to Russia in recent weeks .

As of August 14, over the past day, 28,982 new cases of coronavirus infections have been detected in the country. For the second day in a row, the number of new cases exceeds 28 thousand. At the same time, until August, the last time the number of new cases detected per day reached this value in March. For two weeks of the month, the incidence in the country increased by more than 2.5 times.

The academic noted that the real number of coronavirus cases in the country is likely higher, since not all people who have symptoms similar to those of COVID-19 are tested.
