Coronavirus deaths in Russia have increased by 679 in the past 24 hours compared to 672 deaths confirmed the day before: this is the highest number since the start of the pandemic and is the fourth consecutive record in the last 4 days. The coronavirus crisis center said so. So far 136,565 people have died nationwide. The lethality rate rose to 2.46%, as shown by the data provided by the crisis center. The infections were instead 23,218, according to Russian agencies. Situation to be monitored also in the British one where the cases of Covid-19 due to the Delta variant have increased by 46% since last week. This is what emerges from the latest bulletin released by Public Health England. Specifically, the number of Delta variants in the country has increased by 50.824 from last week, for a total of 161,981. But although infections are on the rise, there is not at the same time a proportional increase in hospitalizations, a figure that suggests the importance of the vaccination campaign.
