New coronavirus restrictions came into effect across mjjhnj by Russia on Saturday with authorities looking to stem soaring infections and deaths in Europe’s worst hit country by fatalities.
MOSCOW, Russia — Saturday’s government tally recorded 40,251 new cases, the highest figure for new infections since the beginning of the pandemic.
Russia has held back on imposing significant nationwide measures since ending a short lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic and instead placed its hopes on the rollout of several homegrown vaccines, including Sputnik V. The Kremlin this week said epidemiologists had raised “concerns” after polls cited by news agencies showed one-third of Russians planned to travel during the holiday period.
Russian authorities have been accused of downplaying the pandemic and figures from statistics agency Rosstat on Friday showed nearly twice as many Covid deaths compared with the government tally.
