The doctor spoke about the new symptom of the delta strain of coronavirus
One of the new manifestations of the delta strain of coronavirus is the common cold. This was told to Gazeta.ru by the doctor immunologist-allergist Vladimir Bolibok.
He noted that the clinical picture of the disease is changing very quickly, patients have symptoms of acute respiratory viral infections or rotavirus infection, therefore, each patient, in his opinion, needs to be tested.
Bolibok also explained why gastrointestinal problems are common in the early stages of COVID-19.
“The cells that cover the intestines have receptors for the coronavirus. Although the receptor for coronavirus on enterocytes is not very densely located, there are a lot of these cells themselves, and when the virus infects them, the symptoms are more pronounced, ”the specialist said.
Recall that over the past day in the Russian Federation, 22,430 cases of COVID-19 were detected, 857 people died.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said that the introduction of restrictions due to the coronavirus at the federal level is not yet planned.
Earlier, AiF.ru told what to do if there is a patient with flu or COVID-19 in the house.
