The infectious disease specialist told whether it is possible to become infected in Ukraine with two strains of coronavirus at the same time.
It is already known that several types of coronavirus are running in our country, some are considered more infectious, others less.
But is it possible to get infected with two strains at the same time? If so, how will this affect the course of the person's illness?
The infectious diseases specialist Vadim Aristov answered these questions.
Theoretically, this is possible, a person can inhale as many viruses as he wants, even if they are two strains of coronavirus, the immune system will react to them in the same way.
According to the specialist, even the antibodies will be produced similar.
It does not matter for the body whether one or two strains have entered the body, the infectious dose of the virus as a whole is important. Therefore, having become infected with two types of the virus, a person will not feel any additional complications.Aristov stressed that there is no need to be afraid of successive infection either:
the immunity formed in the process of fighting one strain of coronavirus will protect a person from the second.
