It said the dynamics of the virus is consistent with trends seen internationally and 93% of confirmed cases were mild or asymptomatic.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in Russia in April 2020, more than 800,000 people have died from complications of COVID-19, according to Reuters calculations, with the country recording more than 18 million infections.
Russia developed and released its Sputnik V vaccine when the pandemic broke out but the vaccination campaign has moved slowly, with many Russians saying they distrust the authorities and fear the new medical products. About 52% of the population is fully vaccinated.
