For three days in a row, Russia has reported over 10,000 new cases of Coronavirus — making it the world’s second fastest growing outbreak behind the U.S.
However, compared to the U.S., Russia’s total case number is relatively low, with 155,370 cases reported since the start of the outbreak.
So too are Russia’s officially confirmed fatalities, which stand at just 1,451. Russia is experiencing the world’s seventh largest outbreak as measured by raw confirmed case numbers. If current dynamics hold, it will likely overtake France and Germany this week to enter the top five.
Last week, President Vladimir Putin extended a nation-wide stay at home order from April 30 to May 11, as officials predicted the peak of the outbreak could arrive by May 12.
