More than 1,100 Russian citizens died today of COVID-19, a daily record for the country that still is plagued by low vaccination rates and lax behaviors.
MOSCOW (AP) — Coronavirus deaths in Russia hit another daily record today, four days since a nationwide order for many Russians to stay off work took effect.
Russia’s state coronavirus task force reported 39,008 new confirmed cases and 1,178 COVID-19 deaths. The task force has reported record daily infections or deaths almost every day for the last month.
To reduce the spread of the coronavirus, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a nationwide non-working period for Oct. 30-Nov. 7.
