Russia reports record daily COVID-19 death toll of 1,028

MOSCOW, 20th October, 2021 – Russia on Wednesday recorded a record 1,028 coronavirus-related deaths in the last 24 hours as well as 34,073 new infections, a surge in cases that has led authorities to press for stricter health restrictions, reported Reuters.

Moscow’s mayor announced four months of stay-home restrictions for unvaccinated over-60s on Tuesday and the Russian government proposed a week-long workplace shutdown to cope with fast-rising cases that the Kremlin has blamed on Russia’s slow vaccination campaign.
