“The Russian Federation maintains very smooth and slow growth rates (the number of cases of coronavirus detected. - RT ), not leaving behind 20% of daily growth, maintaining it from 14% to 17% per day," she said during the briefing.
According to her, the figure for Russia per 100 thousand people is about 17. This is five times lower than in Canada, ten times lower than in Germany and 20 times lower than in Switzerland, Popova emphasized.
“We consider this comparison to be much more correct and focus on the incidence of a certain number of people, as is customary for this infection, per 100 thousand people,” the head of the department added.
According to the latest data, the number of detected cases of coronavirus in Russia exceeded 32 thousand.
2590 people recovered, 273 died.
