Virologist Altstein explained, why the number of coronavirus-infected Russians is growing

Representative of the World Health Organization in Russia Melita Vuйinovi. He stated, that the sharp increase in the number of detected cases of coronavirus infection in Moscow is due to the relaxed residents of the capital over the past ten days.

In an interview Federal News Agency Professor Altstein noticed, that a sharp increase in the number of detected cases of coronavirus is influenced by different factors, and not just non-compliance by citizens with self-isolation.

"The numbers are growing, when the diagnostic system changes. If earlier, let's, tested only people, having symptoms of the disease, they can now diagnose people, without pronounced symptoms. And this, of course, affects statistics growth. The more active diagnosis, the more [is] ill.

But, certainly, from the very beginning, Muscovites were not serious about recommendations to limit communication. And it had a big impact on the picture., which we observe today. Most people from 2 186 ill, identified in the last day, got sick about a week ago ", - explained Anatoly Altstein.

Virologist noted, that today many Russians went to church on the occasion of Palm Sunday, which means, that in another week you can wait for the next jump in the number of patients with COVID-19.

“But even if the Russians in general and Muscovites in particular, strictly abided by the regime of self-isolation, This does not mean, that the number of cases would not grow. Growth would still be, now the epidemic is growing, and then stop. Just because, that without violations in large groups of people is almost impossible ”, - says Professor Altstein.

In his opinion, statistics, which is updated daily by the anti-coronavirus spreading team in Russia, could be more revealing, if all people with pneumonia were tested.

“This is a very important indicator., - says the virologist. - It better reflects the picture of what is happening with coronavirus., than testing people, returning from abroad, those, who contacted them and has any complaints about their health. Percentage of infected COVID-19 in humans, pneumonia patients, will be a good indicator, how does the epidemic develop. If the coefficient of coronavirus per thousand or ten thousand pneumonia was reflected in the statistics, she would be more revealing. Plus it is very important to perform an autopsy of patients, died of pneumonia, and take a sample for analysis on coronavirus ".
