The number of new patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Russia is growing again – 4 days in a row more than 8 thousand cases. The regional Rospotrebnadzor told what is the reason for such an increase in the incidence, and whether to wait for the return of total isolation. According to the regional headquarters 45 new cases of coronavirus infection were recorded in the Tambov region… This figure has doubled in a little more than a month.
The fact that the disease curve has crept up, Rospotrebnadzor experts associate with several reasons. This is also the seasonality, now more than 7 thousand cases of respiratory viral infections are registered every week, this is the removal of restrictions, and the general fatigue of people, fear has been replaced by skepticism. In addition, the channels of infection have changed, relative to the first wave. So, in the summer in 70 percent of cases it was a family. Now the share of this factor has decreased three times. Place of work jumped from 5 percent to 20. In 10 percent of cases, these are educational organizations.
Galina Tolstova, Deputy Head of the Rospotrebnadzor Department for the Tambov Region: “The number of people who may have become infected has increased, they themselves think so, has increased fivefold due to“ may have become infected in transport ”. In the same public transport. The number of people infected in retail outlets has increased fivefold.
Recently it became known that a specialized covid center in Kotovsk began to receive patients again… It has 160 beds. If necessary, the center in Uvarovo with 120 beds is ready to start again. Rospotrebnadzor advises to reduce the risks of a complex course of the disease by getting vaccinated against influenza, because two infections can work together. This is especially true for risk groups. After vacations and vacations, educational and labor collectives started working. Local ARVI quarantine is now practiced in schools in the region.
Galina Tolstova, Deputy Head of the Rospotrebnadzor Department for the Tambov Region: “Last week, up to 193 classes were transferred to educational distance learning mode. Since the incubation period for respiratory viral infections is shorter, it is up to 7 to a maximum of 10 days, most of them have already resumed work. “
This measure is good not only in the fight against SARS. I have to earn the general principle “I go to the team only healthy”. COVID will have to be contained before the vaccine is introduced.
Galina Tolstova, Deputy Head of the Rospotrebnadzor Department for the Tambov Region: “The vaccine against coronavirus infection, the first small batch arrived in the Tambov region. The second batch is expected to arrive slightly more. Health care institutions have already formed a list of volunteers. “
There were twice as many applicants as the vaccine itself. The priority recipients are, of course, doctors. It must be understood that this is not the beginning of mass immunization, but the development of general mechanisms for the delivery and use of the vaccine.
