The well-known virologist Anatoly Altshtein believes that the increase in the number of cases of coronavirus infection in our country will continue throughout the month. However, at the end of August, the statistics will change direction, and a decline will begin.
Altstein focuses on a similar picture in other countries, where the peak of the next wave of infections has already passed. In accordance with these models, it is possible to make forecasts about how the situation will develop in Russia. Yesterday, more than 14,000 people infected with coronavirus were registered in a day, although two weeks ago there were only about 3,000 of them. This figure is growing rapidly, and mobile vaccination points are reopening in some regions.

Russians do not like to be vaccinated at the time when it is safest for health, they prefer to be vaccinated at the peak of coronavirus, when the level of infections and risk is maximum. Anatoly Altshtein believes that our country is not expecting a significant surge in the incidence, which will stretch into August.
