Epidemiologist predicted an increase in number of pandemics in future

Pandemia can become more frequent in the future, since the world has a trend on globalization, RIA Novosti said the Director of the Director of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, Academician RAS Viktor Maleev.

“Recently, given the globalization and the fact that we can determine every disease, there is a threat that pandemics will be repeated more often, but the pathogen will be different,” he said.

Maleev explained that due to globalization at present, when he appears at some point in the world of a major focus of infection, the likelihood of its new territory is very high.

At the same time, according to him, it is difficult and even impossible to predict when a new pandemic occurs, but there is always a threat to her appearance, so you need to be ready for it, including to leave the stock of infectious beds so that it is necessary to leave the patients, but, if necessary, take patients, and also teach medical staff.
