Virologist Butenko: the wave of the incidence of coronavirus in Russia began to recede 
Russia is gradually retreating. He spoke about this in an interview with Sputnik radio, RIA Novosti reports.
The maximum growth in the number of coronavirus cases was recorded in early November, since then the number of cases detected daily has begun to decline, the doctor said. “It is difficult to make predictions, there are many factors that influence the infection. The trend is good now. You can build a mathematical model: if this trend persists for a week or two, then it will be possible to say that things are moving towards an improvement in the situation. But it is not yet possible to categorically say what date the surge in the incidence will end, “he explained.
The specialist added that the epidemic will not end with the decline of the wave. According to him, everything will depend on the discipline of the implementation of the necessary measures. He recommended taking an example from China, where the safety precaution system is very strict. “They have achieved great success in this way. The pandemic began there, but they were able to defeat it. We also need to stimulate our people to vaccinate, “the virologist emphasized.
Earlier, the virologist Anatoly Altshtein said that Russia has passed the peak in COVID-19, but the incidence will remain at a high level. He noted that this level will remain until the vaccination results improve in the country.
