Thu 30 April 2020:
Russia reported 7,099 new cases of the coronavirus on Thursday — the country’s biggest single-day jump so far.
That brings the national total to 106,498 cases and 1,073 related deaths, according to the country’s coronavirus response headquarters.
This doesn’t reflect the number of active cases; of that total figure, 11,619 patients have recovered.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin yesterday said it was “impossible to give an exact date” for lifting restrictions and reopening the country’s borders. Earlier this week, President Vladimir Putin acknowledged shortfalls in personal protective equipment for medical personnel.
