From a foreign trip can bring a more aggressive form of coronavirus, so the Russians should refrain from traveling abroad. This opinion was expressed in interview to TV channel “Russia 24” the head of the national project “Health of nation” Dmitry Edelev.
According to him, now there are at least two types of coronavirus – “alpha” and “beta”. By the end of the year, it may be even more – up to a dozen types.
“If a person has had one type, this does not mean that others not be infected. It is possible to ache even more, because the body is already weakened,” said Yedelev.
the Expert gave the following data: in the United States from COVID-19 die 6 percent of infected in Italy – 12%, in the UK it is 16.
“overseas, the virus mutated, there is a more aggressive form. So flying abroad and the importation to Russia of these forms of the virus – not the best option,” explained Yedelev.
According to him, abroad now should not go because the treatment of infectious diseases out there can be very expensive. In the US the cost of such therapies can reach 120 thousand dollars.
in addition, according to experts, the countries where the epidemic of the coronavirus previously declined, already faced with the second wave of infection. In China, according to him, the second wave followed the first immediately.
“With the second wave COVID-19 also face South Korea and Japan. I think it will come in Europe,” concluded Mr Edelev.
In April, it was reported that the disease in infected with coronavirus may vary depending on the type of pathogen. In Zhejiang University (China) found that residents of Italy and Spain contracted the most aggressive strain of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Scientists came to the conclusion that in different countries there are different types of the virus.
Earlier on may 25, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin urged Russians not to plan a summer trip for granico. According to him, the virus has got into Russia from abroad, so now it is necessary to minimize the possibility of its re-importation into the country.
