Russia reports its highest daily number of new Covid-19 cases

 

Russia reported 29,039 new cases of coronavirus on Sunday, the highest number of cases it has ever reported in a single day, according to data from the country’s coronavirus response center. The previous record was set just a day before with 28,782 cases recorded that day.
The total number of coronavirus cases reported in Russia as of December 6 is 2,460,770.
The country reported 457 deaths in the past 24 hours, bringing the overall official toll to 43,141.
Russia’s counting methods of Covid-19 deaths have been questioned by independent observers and demographers with CNN previously reporting the numbers could be vastly understated.
