Immunologist: common cold can protect against coronavirus

Immunologist Vladislav Zhemchugov said that various viruses can “compete for territory” in the human body. It turns out that the common cold in rare cases becomes a protection against COVID-19.

“It is a known fact that our” domestic “viruses, such as cytomegalovirus, herpes, at some point cause an increase in the production of interferons, that is, natural defense factors. It may even provide protection against new external viruses, including coronavirus and influenza. Or some kind of mild cold that has begun can protect a person from coronavirus. This option is not excluded, “- said Zhemchugov.

The specialist also emphasized that the effectiveness of such protection can only be found out through experiments.

“For example, the British are going to artificially infect people in order to understand what will happen. Legislation allows it, but we prohibit it, ”Zhemchugov said in an interview with Sputnik radio.

Note that at the beginning of the week, 18 new cases of coronavirus were detected in our country, of which 257 were in Moscow. In the Russian Federation, on a cumulative total, 4 million 796 thousand 1 cases of coronavirus infection were registered in 655 regions. Take care of yourself and others!
