The highest number of deaths was registered in Moscow (94) and also, in Saint Petersburg (85), with 6,240 and 3,230 infections, respectively.

Since the start of the pandemic, the coronavirus has caused 251,691 deaths in Russia, although official statistics on excess deaths in the same period almost double this figure.

The Russian authorities attribute the sharp increase in infections and deaths in recent weeks to the aggressiveness of the delta variant, the lack of strict compliance with health rules by many Russians and, above all, to the low vaccination rate in the country.

To slow the advance of the coronavirus, the authorities gave a week of paid leave to the Russians that ended this Monday and the result of which, according to the authorities, will be fully known in the coming days.

According to the Moscow Mayor’s Office, non-working days helped stabilize the pandemic situation in the Russian capital, however, more than five regions reported a deterioration in the situation and chose to extend paid holidays for a few more days.

So far, in Russia, which was a pioneer when it came to registering its own anticovid vaccine, only 57,256,747 citizens have received the complete vaccination schedule, which places herd immunity at 48% of the 80% to which the authorities aspire.
