The spread of the coronavirus is accelerating in Russia: more than 2,500 new cases identified in less than 24 hours, most of them in Moscow. The number of deaths remains relatively low, less than 150 attributed to the coronavirus, but the results could be largely underestimated. And the concern is all the greater as the healthcare system in Russia is very weakened due to the drastic budget cuts made in recent years. A report produced by Daniel Vallot and Rusina Shikhatova.
