CrimeaPRESS reports:
The new strain of coronavirus “Pirola” does not have clinical symptoms that are distinctive from other strains, and the incubation period of the disease can range from two to fourteen days. This was reported by the professor of the Department of Infectious Diseases of the Order of the Red Banner of Labor of the Medical Institute. S.I. Georgievsk Crimean Federal University Muniver Gafarova.
This is a highly contagious infectious disease, and our body does not have immunity to new strains, so the possibility of getting sick remains. Symptoms from the moment of infection may be the following: a sore and painful sensation in the throat, impaired nasal breathing, moderate headache and muscle pain, a dry cough and fever may appear — symptoms characteristic of upper respiratory tract infections. I note that in some cases the disease may be asymptomatic.– the press service of the university quotes Muniver Gafarova.
In order to avoid complications of the disease, the specialist recommends consulting a doctor and following preventive measures.
Preventive measures remain the same: dress according to the season, remember that it is cool in the morning and evening hours. It is worth noting that all viruses, including the coronavirus virus, are stable in the external environment: they are not affected by temperature conditions. In addition, during this period it is advisable to avoid crowded places. You also need to wash your hands after visiting public places and ventilate the premises more often. It is necessary to increase the intake of vitamin group foods and drink more fluids. These measures will reduce the risk of the virus multiplying in the body.notes Muniver Gafarova.
As the specialist notes, a seasonal increase in colds, including viral and bacterial etiology, is already observed in Russia. This is due to temperature conditions and the formation of new teams in various institutions: preschools, colleges, universities.
In general, the incidence of colds in Russia has increased by 48%, of which 20% of those sick have already been hospitalized. I know that in some regions, due to the active growth of colds, departments for coronavirus patients have been reopened. During this period, there is an active exchange of various microorganisms and the category of people who work or study together is most at risk. Rospotrebnadzor has not yet introduced a mask regime. According to doctors in the Russian Federation, this regime is being introduced in institutions where there are patients with somatic diseases, and the addition of viral infections is undesirable for such patients, since this will complicate their recovery. This decision is made at the discretion of the organization itself.emphasizes Muniver Gafarova.
The expert added that the process of seasonal growth of colds cannot be stopped, but its consequences can be minimized. This is why the World Health Organization recommends annual vaccination before the flu season.
