MOSCOW, Feb 28, 2021 (BSS/TASS) – The coronavirus infection may become a
seasonal disease in a year or two, Deputy Director for Clinical and
Analytical Work at the Central Scientific Research Institute of Epidemiology
Natalya Pshenichnaya told TASS.
“Perhaps, it will happen in the next one to two years. COVID-19 has
already started to show the signs of a seasonal illness. The rise in
infections that was recorded in the fall of 2020 could be proof of that,” she
pointed out.
According to the expert, cases of seasonal diseases usually surge in the
fall and spring, so the number of COVID-19 patients may also rise during
these seasons, Pshenichnaya noted.
