Infectionist told when the number of new COVID-19 infections will reach one hundred thousand per day

The daily incidence of coronavirus in Russia can reach a six-figure figure within a week. Sergei Voznesensky, Associate Professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), spoke about this in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Earlier, during a speech at a meeting of the Presidium of the Coordinating Council under the Government of the Russian Federation to combat COVID-19, the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said that she did not exclude the unfavorable development of the epidemiological situation due to coronavirus and an increase in the number of daily cases of COVID-19 infection to six-digit numbers.

“When this forecast was made at the beginning of the year, many experts expressed doubts that such figures could be achieved. The dynamics that we see now, it is quite possible to achieve this indicator over the next week from today [January 27],” Voznesensky said.

Last Thursday, 12,807 people with coronavirus were hospitalized in Russia. At the same time, in just 24 hours, 88,816 new cases of coronavirus infection were recorded in the country.
