Moscow, Jan 29 (AFP\/APP): Russia reported more than 100,000 daily coronavirus cases for the first time on on Saturday as the country weathers a surge of infections driven by the highly contagious Omicron variant.<\/p>\n

A government Covid-19 portal registered 113,122 new cases over 24 hours, nearly double the number of daily infections just a week ago.<\/p>\n

The number of cases across Russia continues to rise sharply, with Omicron accounting for the majority of cases.<\/p>\n

Following a strict but brief national lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic, Russia has held back on curbs hoping instead to protect its struggling economy.<\/p>\n

But with four vaccines widely available for months, Russians remain reluctant to get jabbed with just under half of the population fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

Russia’s government figures have reported 330,111 deaths from Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic — the highest death toll in Europe.<\/p>\n

However those figures are contradicted by statistics agency Rosstat, which counts Covid deaths under a broader definition and says the overall death toll is close to double the official number.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Rosstat said that Russia’s population declined by more than a million people last year, a historic drop not seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
