The epidemiologist prof.dr. Dragan Danilovski remains of the view that the coronavirus will be reduced to a "seasonal flu" in the spring.

- "Nothing new in the West!" I wrote a long time ago, more precisely, on August 31, 2021, that "the delta monster will slowly be reduced to a" tame lion "- just as it happened to his relatives, the four types of coronaviruses which cause the common cold. ”Omicron appeared in late November of that year. On December 4, 2021, I told Nova TV: "So, it is clear that the crown is over. What I have been saying for a long time will come true - that it will be reduced to "seasonal flu" in the spring - something that other epidemiologists around the world agree with. "This is something that should encourage us, to take us out of the feeling of hopelessness and pessimism." I remain on those views of mine - Danilovski said in a statement for New Macedonia.

He said the omicron "ignited like a forest fire, but like any fire, it began to suffocate on its own" and that it "increasingly lacks" burning oxygen ".

- In Macedonia, we reached the top of the wave on January 18 - earlier than we predicted (end of January). Since then the trend of new infections has been downward. Roughly, as long as the growth lasted, so will the fall. By the end of February, the omicron will fade. And it will be maintained at an endemic level for some time, spring… To be further reduced to sporadic (unrelated, single, cases). Furthermore, we will have it among us, just like we have the seasonal flu - adds the professor.
