The coronavirus situation in Russia is worsening, as the authorities on Sunday reported another record high since the beginning of the pandemic a year and a half ago, with 890 deaths in 24 hours.
For days now, the statistics have been showing virus-related deaths beyond the 800 mark. The Kremlin has called the figures worrying.
According to official coronavirus statistics, almost 210,000 patients there have died as a result of the virus. However, it is assumed that the number of unreported cases is high.
The number of daily new infections has also been rising, with 25,700 new cases reported on Sunday alone.
According to official figures, only 50 million people have received at least the first of usually two necessary vaccinations against COVID-19, which is 34 percent of the 146 million people who live in Russia.
There are currently no major anti-coronavirus restrictions in the country. (dpa)
