The new wave of Covid-19 in Russia does not stop, where in the last 24 hours there have been 37,141 new infections and 1,064 deaths caused by the disease, which is the worst figure since the beginning of the epidemic.
Among the causes of the resurgence of Covid in the country there would be the slowness with which the vaccination campaign is proceeding.
According to the national operations center that monitors the outbreak, in Russia, out of a population of nearly 150 million people, just over 49 million have completed the vaccination course and 53.5 million people have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
In recent days, Vladimir Putin announced new restrictions to address the situation, including lockdowns for older people and the closure of offices and other businesses.
