But the statistical agency Rosstat, which broadens its definition of deaths from coronavirus, puts the deaths at 450,000 at the end of September.

The record of infections this Saturday occurs in the middle of a non-working week in the country. Vladimir Putin decreed it from October 30 to November 7 to try to lower the infections.

In Moscow, where the greatest infections are registered, schools, beauty salons, shops, gyms and other “non-essential” services are closed.

The rapid spread of Covid-19 in Russia can be explained by the low vaccination rate of the population in a context of widespread mistrust. To date only 33.8% of Russians are fully immunized.
