The coronavirus spread rate has likewise been on the rise, reaching 1.15, the highest number since October 14, 2020.
Another 10,096 COVID-19 patients recovered in Russia in the past 24 hours, with recoveries surpassing 10,000 for the first time since April 15.
However, Russia has recorded fewer recoveries than new infections for a week in a row. As a result, the number of active cases has reached 270,676 - the highest number since May 13, based on the crisis centre’s data.
The mortality rate has remained at 2.42% since the beginning of the week. It should be borne in mind that the information provided by the crisis centre is incomplete. It takes into account only those cases when COVID-19 was the major cause of death, and where it was possible to quickly confirm the information.
The number of active cases in the Russian capital is growing. On Thursday, it reached 108,834, which corresponds to the figures from late January.
Against this backdrop, Moscow’s authorities decided to tighten control over observance of anti-epidemic measures and allocate additional hospital beds for coronavirus patients. At the same time, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin made assurances that "no lockdowns" were planned because of the deteriorating situation.
