RFE: Russia's COVID-19 Death Toll Hits Record High For Second Day In A Row

Russia's daily COVID-19 death toll has reached a record high for a second day in a row amid a surge in cases blamed by the authorities on a low vaccination rate that has forced the imposition of a nationwide workplace shutdown.

The government coronavirus task force on November 3 reported 1,189 fatalities, surpassing the previous day's record of 1,178 deaths.

It was the third record number of fatalities in four days, after 1,161 deaths were registered on October 31 as the pandemic continued to ravage the country.

The authorities also reported 40,443 new infections in the last 24 hours, including 6,827 in Moscow.
