When asked what to expect from covid next, Kuzin said that the forecasts are the same as in other European countries that are already taking precautionary measures and clarified:.

“The peculiarity of Ukraine is that now we mainly have the Omicron strain circulating, in which the disease always passes in a milder form.. However, it also causes severe cases, including oxygen-dependent. And sometimes it leads to death.”.

He added that now one can actually observe the beginning of a seasonal rise in the incidence.. It is not as sharp as it was during the previous waves.. But will gradually gain momentum during the autumn period.

Commenting on the assumption that COVID-19 has become a seasonal disease, Kuzin noted:.

“In order for the disease to become seasonal, there must be at least a three-year dynamics. This is the minimum after which we can predict something based on averaged data..

This is the third year for the coronavirus. I think he will get closer to seasonal illness next year..

And we will already be able to predict it and introduce certain precautionary measures - certain anti-epidemic measures or vaccination. While we consider covid not as a seasonal disease”.
