Virologist called the possible date of death after infection with COVID

Death from CORONAVIRUS infection can occur three to four weeks after infection. This was stated in a conversation with Ura.ru by a virologist, professor at the Center. Gamalei Anatoly Altshtein.

“When a person usually gets sick with coronavirus, people start dying somewhere in three to four weeks,” he said.

According to the expert, based on reports that a few days ago there were data on a high incidence in the UK, after the period he named, it will be clear how the Omicron strain behaves.

At the same time, the virologist noted that, based on the data already obtained, one should not expect high mortality or a severe course of coronavirus from a new strain. “The disease has no clear distinguishing features. It goes like a cold. So far, from what has been described, the diseases are not severe, but we are talking mainly about young people from South Africa, ”added the professor.
