- Abstract
On the pandemic background of a new coronavirus infection, the widespread anti-epidemic measures, the situation with other infectious diseases has changed. The purpose of this research was to analyze the incidence of infectious diseases in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) during 2020 pandemic. We used the data of official statistics. We analyzed the incidence of groups of infectious diseases transmitted by food and air. The incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases was estimated taking into account the level of vaccination of the population. A significant decrease in morbidity was noted for all groups. The number of cases of newly diagnosed socially significant diseases (tuberculosis and HIV) also decreased. A decrease in parasitic diseases was also noted. An increase in morbidity was noted only for one item. The number of community-acquired pneumonia has increased, which is directly related to the new coronavirus infection. Many countries have implemented social distancing as a measure to “flatten the curve” of the ongoing epidemics. Evaluation of the impact of government-imposed social distancing and of other measures to control further spread of COVID-19 is urgent, especially because of the large societal and economic impact of the former.
