One person in Russia infected 1,500 people with a new coronavirus infection. This is the maximum case of superdistribution registered in the country, said Russian virologist Alexander Semenov, quoted by TASS.
According to statistics, a COVID-19 patient infects two or three people when infected with the standard variant of the virus, in the “Delta” variant – from 5 to 6 people.
We all understand that coronavirus infection is spread by airborne droplets, ie mainly through social contact. If a person does not keep social distance, does not wear a mask, especially if he does not feel very well (….), he goes into a crowded subway car, comes to work and starts hugging and kissing everyone, there is a chance that he will superdistributor and infect a huge number of people. Ignoring the norms of social distancing, it creates opportunities for the super-spread of infection, “said the expert.
“Unfortunately, the contribution of superdistributors to human infection is quite large,” Semenov said.
