The incidence of coronavirus in Russia has been declining since February and has reached its lowest level since the start of the pandemic in June. Since July 1, Rospotrebnadzor has canceled all anti-coronavirus restrictions in the country, since the weekly rate has decreased by more than 64 times since winter, and the disease has become mild in the form of acute respiratory infections or asymptomatic.

However, in July, the daily number of cases began to rise. By July 10, the COVID-19 prevalence rate — the number of people infected by one sick person before going into self-isolation — had risen to 1.13 units, the highest since February 13. According to the operational headquarters, in Russia over the past week, the incidence of COVID-19 increased by 30.2%, the number of hospitalizations increased by 3.2%. On July 20, for the first time since May, more than 5.6 thousand new cases of infection were recorded in Russia.

However, already on July 19, Rospotrebnadzor reported that five cases of infection with the new centaur subspecies (BA.2.75), which was first discovered in India, were detected in Moscow. Virologists interviewed by RBC considered it more contagious than previous subspecies, but indicated that it rarely causes severe illness.

The number of new coronavirus infections in the European region has tripled in the past six weeks, with nearly 3 million new cases recorded last week, nearly half of all new infections globally, according to the WHO.
