Golikova: mortality in 11 months increased by 18.5% compared to last year

"Of the total increase in mortality in November of this year, more than 100% accounted for mortality from COVID-19, while mortality from other diseases decreased by 9.0%," RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin during a press conference commented on the death rate in the country.

The high mortality rate is associated with low levels of coronavirus vaccinations, he said.
