This is evidenced by the data of the operational headquarters to combat COVID-19.

“Over the entire period, 6,948 deaths were recorded,” the report said.

The day before, 114 patients with coronavirus died in Russia.

Earlier, a spokeswoman for the World Health Organization in Russia, Melita Vujnovic, said that WHO has no complaints about Russian estimates of mortality from COVID-19.

Virologist Alexander Chepurnov in an interview with Nation News spoke about measures that, he said, help reduce the number of patients with coronavirus.
