Russia: towards new restrictions after the record of deaths

Russia has recorded a new record of deaths caused by Covid-19: 1,015 in a single day. The increase in infections, 33,740 in the last 24 hours, and the higher number of deaths since the beginning of the pandemic have prompted the government to hypothesize new restrictions. “There are only two ways to get through this period: get sick or get vaccinated,” said the Russian president Vladimir Putin in a video message to the nation.
