The situation with the spread of coronavirus in the Moscow region is worsening every day, but the regional authorities still have time to prepare for a sharp increase in cases. Today, there are as many cases in the Moscow Region as there were in the capital on March 29, that is, the suburbs are 2 weeks behind. How will restrictive measures affect the Odintsovo District and what scenario will events develop? The main question remains about the decline in the pandemic in the Moscow region and in Russia.
Is there a coronavirus in Odintsovo?
The Odintsovo District is among the leading districts in terms of the number of people infected with a dangerous infection. As of April 10, 39 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the Odintsovo district. Over the past day - six new ones. All patients have recently returned from countries where there is an unfavorable epidemiological situation for coronavirus.
Data on cases in the Odintsovo district:
- 16.03 — 5;
- 25.03 — 7;
- 27.03 — 11;
- 29.03 — 16;
- 1.04 — 17;
- 3.04 — 24;
- 4.04 — 29;
- 6.04 — 31;
- 8.04— 30;
- 9.04 — 33;
- 10.04 — 39.
It is obvious that the number of cases is increasing almost evenly, without sharp jumps, 2-6 cases per day. Whether a mass outbreak can be avoided depends on the restrictive measures taken by the authorities.
When will the quarantine end?
Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov extended restrictive measures in the region until May 1, but it is clear that this period may be extended. Quarantine in Odintsovo is being tightened, from April 13 they will launch the electronic pass mode to monitor compliance with self-isolation. The squads of the police, the traffic police, the National Guard will be strengthened, which will check passers-by on the street.
Infectionists and epidemiologists give a variety of predictions, since the virus is new and its behavior is poorly understood. “—FOOTNOTE—” The situation will clear up in three weeks, so that the quarantine will become stricter only from next week, distribution chains will be broken. The incubation period of the virus is two weeks. When the virus stops spreading, foci of the disease will be identified, which will be isolated.
Recall that in Wuhan, quarantine was carried out from January 25 to April 6.
Experts predict in different ways the time when the incidence will peak - that is, the moment when the number of infected people per day begins to decrease. FMBA experts believe that this turning point will come in Russia on April 16, and the Ministry of Health predicts outbreaks in the summer as well. The head of the FMBA, Veronika Skvortsova, believes that Russia will reach the peak incidence of coronavirus from April 18 to April 22. In her opinion, it will be possible to stop the pandemic by the summer, because the epidemic in Russia is spreading according to a favorable scenario. The increase in the number of infected is 18-20% per day.
There are so many scientists, so many different opinions, and the best prognosis for everyone is the consciousness of Odintsovo people. When the quarantine in Odintsovo schools ends depends on us.
