Russia has admitted more than three times as many deaths from coronavirus as previously announced, making it now the third highest death toll in the world from the virus.

The state statistics group Rosstat said Monday that 186,057 people died from coronavirus in the country between January and November – a huge jump from previously reported figures from health authorities of 55,265 deaths from the disease.

He did not provide any explanation for the difference, but official Russian figures usually come from health officials based on deaths where Covid was found to be the cause immediately after an autopsy.

Monday’s figures from Rosstat and Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova appeared to include all coronavirus-related deaths.

Russian health officials have recorded more than 3 million infections since the outbreak began, placing the country’s affairs burden at the fourth highest in the world.

But they have reported a much lower death rate than in other severely affected countries.

Russia’s main coronavirus intelligence website had not yet updated its statistics to show Rosstat results as they were on Tuesday morning and showed the country’s death tax as 55,827.

The new figures come from Russia, which puts the country directly behind the United States and Brazil for coronavirus deaths, as countries scrapped vaccination campaigns in an effort to stop the pandemic. .

Moscow hopes to protect a struggling national economy by avoiding a new closure and instead curbing Russia’s behavior by vaccinating people en masse with the Sputnik V injection.

Elsewhere, new coronavirus mutations found in the United Kingdom and South Africa are forcing more countries to reset destructive restrictions in an effort to stop the variants, which are believed to be spread much faster, from crossing borders.

The new snoring in the UK has spread to a number of European countries as well as Japan, Canada and South Korea from people who have traveled from London.
