MOSCOW, April 6. /TASS/. A third wave of the pandemic in Russia may theoretically be triggered by a more contagious virus strain, the acting director of the Smorodintsev Research Institute of Influenza, Dmitry Lioznov, said on Tuesday.
"If we bear in mind that the British strain has a higher reproductive index, and if it begins to spread actively now, theoretically a third wave may be linked with the emergence of a more virulent variety," Lioznov said at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ scientific session Nanotechnologies and Information Technologies for Effective Resistance to COVID-19 and Other New Dangerous Infections.
