Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in an interview with Channel One that 89.3% of Muscovites infected with COVID-19 had a strain of the delta coronavirus .

The latest data that we received, 89.3% of patients fell ill with a mutated coronavirus, the so-called delta, this is an Indian strain. And he turned out to be more aggressive, which spreads faster. And the most unpleasant thing is that in order to resist a person, his immune status, his number of antibodies, as they say now, must be almost twice as high as against the Wuhan virus, that is, in fact, we are starting to go through this story again …

It was with this that Sobyanin explained the “explosive growth in the incidence” of COVID-19 and a large number of hospitalized people. According to the mayor of Moscow, “almost every day” the authorities open new hospitals and buildings to fight the coronavirus and “barely have time.”
