Under what conditions does the coronavirus “feel” best?

The scientist presented the latest information on the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus during the congress “Control and prevention of infections associated with healthcare provision”. As the epidemiologist emphasizes, contrary to the expectations of many specialists, COVID-19 is not a seasonal infection that occurs from January to April. – In this respect, the hopes of specialists did not come true. Nevertheless, it is already clear that the pathogen is most viable at (air) temperatures between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius. Pshenichnaya said, adding: “He also feels comfortable at higher temperatures.”

The scientist also stressed that the coronavirus spreads best when air humidity is high, which is happening right now – in the fall and winter. Pshenichnaya, however, notes that SARS-CoV-2 can spread even at relatively low humidity.

So the conclusion is this: the most comfortable conditions for the coronavirus are when it is cool and wet.

Two days later, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, announced that mass vaccination against the coronavirus should begin in Our Country before the end of the year (he noted that it would be voluntary). However, the official did not specify when exactly they could start, and described the mass use of the vaccine as “a great task”.

“I cannot give a specific date, but it should be before the end of the year, we expect,” said Peskov, quoted by the TASS agency. As he added, it is too early to talk about mass vaccinations, and their application will be phased, depending on the “geography and storage capacity of the substance”. The Kremlin spokesman also noted that the availability of the vaccine will depend on the manufacturers’ capabilities.

Earlier, the Minister of Health, Tatiana Golikowa, indicated 2021 as the possible date for starting vaccinations. As the RBK website reminds us, doctors and teachers would be vaccinated in the first place.
