The chief physician of the K + 31 network of clinics, Boris Churadze, said that some people can get sick with COVID-19 several times a year.
“Cases of infection with coronavirus infection have been recorded a month or two after the illness … It is quite possible to get this infection several times in a year,” Churadze explained.
At the same time, he clarified that the recurrent disease most often proceeds in a milder form. However, if a person is faced with an altered virus, a more severe course of the disease is possible.
The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus continues to mutate and new strains appear. It is logical to assume that in the foreseeable future the virus will accompany us in the same way as the influenza virus and many other viruses, the specialist concluded in an interview with Sputnik radio.
Earlier, the director of the Gamaleya Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology, Alexander Gintsburg, in an interview with the NSN, told how herd immunity is formed.
