Coronavirus statistics are becoming more serious every day. After the shock period of isolation, we all hoped that the situation was gradually changing for the better, but today even more people are sick with the dangerous virus than last spring – and the disease is worse than in the first months of the pandemic.
Of course, there are a number of reasons for this sad state of affairs. But the human factor should not be underestimated either, the Ministry of Health is sure.
So, on October 17, the chief allergist-immunologist of the Ministry of Health Rakhim Khaitov said that the vast majority of Russians fell ill with coronavirus after a long-awaited vacation at resorts.
“90% of the sick now are those returning from vacation, who brought an infection,” the agency quotes the words of the specialist. .
Khaitov is sure that few Russians during their holidays thought about observing security measures – and this is the result.
“It was inevitable due to the huge crowds on the beaches and in restaurants. One does not put on a mask, the other wears it incorrectly, ”explains the immunologist.
The doctor urged the people to continue to observe protective measures: wear a mask and gloves and use antiseptics. Khaitov recalled: there is still no effective treatment and special medicine for coronavirus, so no one should forget about the danger of infection.
