Media: after the holidays, the incidence of COVID-19 in the country will exceed 50 thousand cases per day

This is reported by "Kommersant" with reference to the sources of the news agency Reuters. According to sources, another surge in the incidence is expected in the first two months of 2022. The daily number of new infections is predicted to be more than 50 thousand.

As for the Omicron strain, according to officials, due to the fact that with it the course of the disease is easier than with Delta and other strains, this will allow not to fear that the hospital bed fund will be exhausted, since with Omicron disease requires less hospitalization.

Recall that the highest incidence of coronavirus in the country was recorded in November 2021 - 41,335 people per day.

According to the Ministry of Health, by the end of 2021, the level of herd immunity to COVID-19 is 61.8%.
