Popova called "total nihilism" and other causes of the incidence of COVID

According to the HEAD of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova, the recent increase in the incidence of CORONAVIRUS in Russia is associated with several factors. This is "total nihilism" in relation to protective measures, migration in the spring and early summer, as well as insufficient vaccination levels in Russia, Interfax reported her words.

“The first is total nihilism in relation to the measures that we have been using to protect ourselves from the coronavirus for a long time. When everyone took off their masks, went out into the street and for some reason considered that the coronavirus had already left, it made itself felt, ”she said about the first reason.

Popova also said that people aged 20 to 49 are mostly getting sick now.

The daily increase in people infected with coronavirus in Russia began to grow from the beginning of June and returned to February figures by the middle of the month, exceeding 14 thousand people. According to Popova, the Indian strain of coronavirus, which the World HEALTH Organization considers more contagious, is beginning to spread rapidly in the country. According to the GISAID platform, which provides open access to the genomic data of influenza and coronavirus viruses, the proportion of the Indian strain of COVID-19 in Russia has exceeded 70% over the past four weeks.
