Russia has reported 40,251 Covid-19 infections in the last 24 hours, its largest daily case tally since the onset of the pandemic.
The government’s coronavirus taskforce also reported 1,160 deaths, just under the record of 1,163 fatalities set the day before, according to Reuters.
It comes as Russia prepares to enter a nationwide “non-working” week in the first week of November in an effort to stymie its rising cases, while Moscow reentered a partial lockdown on Thursday, allowing only essential shops to remain open.
