“the mechanisms of the spread of the novel coronavirus known and they are the same everywhere. Droplet infection transmitted from person to person by close contact, especially if you are not using personal protective equipment. Any mass congestion of people create ideal conditions for the rapid spread of the virus,” he reminded the Professor of the closets.
as a negative example, he cited the situation in the United States and India, where failure to follow simple preventive measures has led to increased morbidity. Even such a basic measure as the wearing of masks in public places, can prevent infection and slow the spread of infection in General, – said the expert. Therefore, how to develop the epidemic situation in the future depends, among other things, and on the competent behavior of the population.
“the Dynamics of the epidemic, including possible new rise in the incidence of so – called “second wave” depends on three simple factors – the presence of the source of infection (sick people), the availability of susceptible organism (healthy, not sick people) and conditions for the transfer of infection from one another, – said Vladimir closets. Compliance with the prevention of airborne infections – the wearing of masks, frequent hand washing, observance of social distance, isolation of cases – allow to slow down the epidemic and prevent the emergence of a second wave. Therefore, the responsibility of everyone to yourself and your family, the use of masks, is a real contribution to the fight against disease.”
the closets also commented on the current situation: reduction in the incidence of new infection, noting that before the final victory over coronavirus need not to relax and continue to comply with anti-epidemic rules.
“as a result of quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus we were able to significantly reduce the incidence and reverse the progression of the epidemic. But it can be called a small victory in one battle – the war is not over, said of closets. Yet every day we register lots of new cases in some regions is still growing morbidity, and this means that there is a risk of infection. In order to consolidate the positive momentum we need to continue to follow the simple rules of prevention of transmission, chief among which is the use of masks in public places.”
