The hypothesis of the manifestation of the delta coronavirus strain in the heat is being studied by scientists and at the current stage requires verification. This was stated by the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova, RIA Novosti writes.
Popova noted that in Russia, as well as in almost 100 countries of the world, a new strain of the delta coronavirus began to circulate.
“And this is the next thesis with which scientists are now reflecting, they are studying. The possibility of manifestation of this particular strain in hot weather. It was in India, it was in a number of countries. This is still a hypothesis that requires testing, “explained the head of Rospotrebnadzor in an interview with Naila Asker-zade on the Russia 24 channel.
Speaking to the new strain, Popova urged not to wait for any specific signs and to see a doctor immediately.
“We see cases of very rapid development of the clinic. (…) This is his insidiousness that a person who seems to have no pathology, today we see it very clearly, young people, as I have already said, when meeting with a virus, sometimes give, well, I cannot say, a paradoxical reaction , but a very difficult clinical picture, ”she said.
Earlier, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that almost 90% of the capital's residents infected with coronavirus had an Indian strain of “delta”, which spreads much more aggressively and faster. The mayor noted that in order to resist the new strain, the level of antibodies in humans must be twice as high as required to combat the “Wuhan” variant.
