In the coming weeks, due to the spread of the omicron strain, an increase in the number of new cases is expected, the figures may reach six-digit figures. About it “RIA News” said Natalya Pshenichnaya, deputy director for clinical and analytical work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor.
“Given that local transmission of the virus has already begun, a significant increase in the number of cases is expected in the coming weeks, since this virus is more infectious than the delta variant, and the incubation period is shorter,” the specialist said.
She also noted that a person can become infectious as early as 2-3 days after infection, and symptoms appear on 3-5 days.
