"To estimate the wave of coronavirus infection, the ratio between sick and healthy should be taken into account."
According to RBK, this was stated by Larisa Popovich, director of the Institute of Health Economics at the National Research University "Higher School of Economics".
"The number of people discharged home in Moscow exceeds the number of infections that are stablely hospitalized and diagnosed. This is a very good dynamic, "Popovich said.
He added that the statistics are different in other areas.
The increase in the number of infected in the fall does not mean a "second wave". There are no formal signs of the wave, only differences between the past and the new period, "Popovich said.
In turn, virologist Anatoly Altstein noted that there is an increase in COVID-19 infection in Russia, but it can not be called a second wave. Because the first wave is not over yet.
