Russia s deputy prime minister has revealed more than 80% of excess deaths this year are linked to Covid-19, which would mean its death toll is three times higher than previously reported.
Excess deaths are the difference between the total number of deaths registered and the average over the previous years for the same period.
Official figures say 55,827 people have died with Covid-19 in Russia.
The deputy prime minister said excess deaths would take that to 186,000.
Countries use different methods when reporting deaths related to the virus, which makes international comparisons difficult.
