MOSCOW: Russia on Sunday counted more than 25,000 new daily infections after a week of record death tolls as the highly contagious Delta variant propels a global resurgence of the pandemic.
The coronavirus has killed nearly four million people worldwide, forcing numerous nations to reimpose restrictions well over a year after the outbreak of the pandemic.
Moscow has so far ruled out a new lockdown, but Sunday’s 25,142 infections were the biggest figure since January 2.
Record virus deaths were registered five days in a row rising to 697 on Saturday, before dropping to 663 for Sunday.
