Also during the meeting, the epidemiological situation was discussed at the meeting. According to the data of the health department, today the workload of infectious beds in the region is 37%, and resuscitation beds - 17%. However, due to the detection of the Omicron strain in Kazakhstan, the forecasts for the spread of coronavirus have been revised. According to the most pessimistic scenario, the number of new cases of COVID-19 in the country can reach 40 thousand new cases per day. This means that the local health care system already needs to deal with the prevention of an infectious disease.
Akims of cities and districts and our doctors should throw all possible forces into the vaccination campaign, - said Abylkair Skakov. - The incidence of coronavirus in the capital has already increased several times and this wave will soon come to us. Therefore, it is necessary to more actively vaccinate and revaccinate the inhabitants of the Pavlodar region. If we had the peak of vaccination last year in June-July, now the revaccination campaign should be at its peak.
Over the past day, more than 2.8 thousand people have undergone revaccination in the region. Akim of the region emphasized that it is necessary to reach the level of 4.5 - 5 thousand vaccinated per day in order to protect the population.
