Russian COVID Cases Break Daily Record Again

February 03, 2022

Russia has reported yet another record daily number of COVID-19 cases as the extremely contagious omicron variant spreads across the country, authorities said.

New daily cases jumped on February 3 to 155,768, up from 141,883 a day earlier.

The government coronavirus task force also reported 667 deaths in the previous 24 hours.

Despite having several domestically developed jabs available, Russia has been struggling with low inoculation rates amid widespread vaccination skepticism among its population.
