In Russia, more and more cases of COVID-19 infection among children, including infants, have begun to be registered. On the air of the Moscow speaking radio station, the infectious disease specialist Yevgeny Timakov said that the contagiousness of the coronavirus is already comparable to chickenpox.
“Absolutely everyone started to get sick, including babies.
Coronavirus is already comparable to chickenpox in terms of contagiousness, this is very serious, especially for children. Children began to fall ill from each other. This was not the case before, ”Timakov's words are quoted in the material.
Stop the transmission of the coronavirus, isolate the source and save children who, in his opinion, are susceptible to testing in schools.
“As a percentage of those who get sick now, there are no more severe cases and bad outcomes than it was during the first and second waves. However, the absolute number of sick children has become a lot, children's hospitals are overcrowded, ”the infectious disease specialist emphasized.
Timakov also noted that in most children, the disease began to develop in a severe form.
Earlier in an interview with “Moscow Says” State Duma Deputy Alexei Kurinny reported that COVID-19 in Russia came in second after cardiovascular diseases, ahead of cancer.
