“For the second week in a row, less than 1 million new cases were reported in the WHO European Region, to which Russia belongs, and transmission in the region continues to slow,” Vujnovich quoted TASS as saying.

According to her, "the decrease in the number of new cases in the last month is due to countries that are taking measures in the field of public health and social sphere, including the Russian Federation."

According to data as of March 6, 11,022 cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Russia during the day.

In total, 4,312,181 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed in Russia since the beginning of the epidemic.
