The coronavirus mutates and adapts to the environment in order to spread more efficiently and quickly through airborne droplets. This conclusion was reached by American scientists, comparing the options “alpha” and “delta” with previous strains of SARS-CoV2, reports the New York Times, citing a study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the United States.

Experts note that the virus is evolving, becoming more infectious. In their opinion, large droplets with infection “quickly settle on the floor,” but small droplets are able to travel much greater distances through the air indoors, it is with their help that “covid” is transmitted from person to person and settles in the lungs, where it is most dangerous …

Scientists note that their discovery confirms the need to improve the protective masks that people wear when attending public events.

We will remind, as the website kp.ru wrote, at the end of September, the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Alexander Sergeev said that Russian vaccines against coronavirus today show greater efficiency in the fight against the delta strain than foreign ones.

Earlier, infectious disease doctor Ivan Konovalov told “KP” how dangerous the mutated virus is and whether additional vaccination is needed to protect against the “delta” strain.
