Moscow: The Russian daily infection and death of the Russian daily hovered near the highest of all time on Monday amid the slow level of vaccination and the reluctance of Kremlin to louder restrictions.
The Russian Coronavirus State Task Force reported 29,409 new cases confirmed – the highest number since the beginning of the year and only slightly lower than the pandemic record achieved in December.

Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov voiced concern about the surge in infection and death and noted that hospitals in several areas were close to their capacity.
“The level of vaccination that we have is too low, is not special,” Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.
“That’s why we have a very high mortality rate.
We use every opportunity to make a simple call on all citizens – go ahead and get a shot.” But while throwing a pace of vaccination, Peskov rejected the idea of impressive fines on those who failed to get a vaccine And emphasize that it is to regional authority to decide whether to tighten the coronavirus limitation.
Some regions have a limited presence at large public events and limited access to theaters, restaurants, and other places to vaccinated people, recently recovered from Covid-19 or tested negatively 72 hours.
However, most of life remains normal in Moscow, St.
Petersburg and many other big cities, with businesses operating as usual and loose mandate masks are enforced.
