An employee in a medical maskMOSCOW, 18 Jan. In Russia, a new surge in the incidence of COVID-19 is expected. Immunologist Irina Yartseva said in an interview with Sputnik radio how people who work in large teams can’t replenish the number of infected. Perhaps the new strain does not cause the same course of the disease as its predecessors, for example, Delta, but the same security measures must be taken as before, Yartseva is sure. The most effective way to prevent COVID-19 is vaccination, she recalled. In order to get sick less often or get sick in a mild form in the team, it is important to be vaccinated and revaccinated on time, «the immunologist noted. While at work, you should try to maintain a social distance of at least one meter,» Yartseva continued. Those employees who have even the slightest signs of a cold should wear masks. And if a person does not do this, you should not be embarrassed and ask him to use personal protective equipment, the immunologist advised. strain»If you notice that a person nearby is «snotty» or coughing, then it is important to immediately suggest that he put on a medical mask. If he does not get better, then you should suggest that the person go home for remote work,» she said. Attentive attitude of colleagues to each other a friend will help reduce the spread of infection, Yartseva added. She recommends that Russians take care of proper sleep patterns and healthy eating during the period of rising incidence, as this strengthens the immune system. In addition, it is advisable to worry less and avoid stress. «It is important to support your body as much as possible. In particular, you should go through stressful situations more calmly, since stress also reduces the protective functions of the body,» Irina Yartseva explained in an interview with Sputnik radio.
