the Incidence of infectious diseases depends on the intensity of social interaction. To quarantine people began to communicate less face to face and stopped going to the establishments. Therefore, decreased incidence of the common cold, cases of intestinal poisoning and infection with sexually transmitted diseases. Thus, the mode of isolation could help slow the spread of many diseases.
However, it is important to note that the real picture could be worse than the statistics show. Part of the cases, it is not impossible, just has not been registered because the health system was aimed primarily at combating coronavirus. Many health facilities were reoriented to COVID-19.
in addition, people in the period of the pandemic did not seek to go to the doctors without a serious reason. Moreover, during the quarantine, increased risks for people with chronic diseases, because the availability of medical care because of the congestion of the health system in many regions has decreased.
