An increase in the number of cases of coronavirus infection in Russia will be observed for another two to three weeks, after which the situation will stabilize. The decline will last until January 2021, says the head physician of the Leader of Medicine, pediatrician, infectious disease specialist, vaccinologist Evgeny Timakov.

- The increase will go on for another two or three weeks, then everything will stabilize. By the end of October, should stabilize and then gradually up to the end of January, most likely, will go on the decline - resulting TASS words Timakova.

According to the infectious disease specialist, COVID-19 will not disappear completely, and cases of morbidity will continue to be detected, since the seasonality of this disease is still unknown.

The rise in the incidence of covid in the country has forced the authorities to revert some of the quarantine measures that were previously introduced and canceled when the pandemic began to recede. In Moscow, for example, the increase in coronavirus cases was the highest since the end of May.

Note that the fear of coronavirus is growing in society. According to a survey conducted by VTsIOM, about 74% of citizens are afraid of contracting covid. Six months ago, only 22% of respondents spoke of such fear.
