• Venezuela receives 1 million second doses of Russian vaccine Sputnik V against coronavirus
• Putin admits the existence of “dozens of people” in his environment infected with coronavirus

Since the start of the pandemic in the country, 208,142 people have died, although the official figures on excess deaths during the same period tripled this number.

The number of infections also continues to grow, since between Thursday and Friday 24,522 new cases were registered in 85 Russian regions, 634 more than the previous day.

This is the highest number of infections since July 22.

Authorities attribute the increase in infections to the fact that the pandemic is currently joining the flu season, and to the dominance of the delta variant, considered more aggressive.

However, it also influences that, at the moment, only 42.3 million have been vaccinated with the complete schedule, out of a population of 146 million inhabitants.
