Within a day they died in Russia from coronavirus 819 patients, a record number for a third consecutive day, due to the Delta variant and a slow vaccination campaign.
The country, which has been facing an epidemic outbreak since early summer, also recorded 22,144 new coronavirus cases, according to a daily report released by the Russian government’s crisis center.
Now, the total number of deaths from Covid-19 amounts to 169,683, according to the government count. Russia’s statistics agency Rosstat has put the death toll at more than 300,000 by the end of June 2021, according to Reuters.
The epidemiological wave caused by Delta variant is the deadliest, with about 21,000 deaths in June, according to Rosstat.
At the same time, Moscow announced last night that the mortality rate in the city in July was 70% higher compared to before the pandemic in 2019 and 60% higher in the same month last year.
Only 30% of the population has received at least one dose of vaccine, and the vaccination campaign began in December 2020. President Vladimir Putin’s calls for vaccination have not helped speed up the campaign.
