Recent figures from Russia indicate 48,042 new confirmed coronavirus infections reported in the latest 24-hour period. This update comes from the nationwide health operations center, which tracks daily changes in case numbers across the country.
In the same interval, 87 individuals in Russia who tested positive for COVID-19 were recorded as deceased. The latest tally also shows 35,732 people who have recovered and 2,239 individuals who were hospitalized due to the illness.
Among Russian regions, Moscow leads with the highest daily case count at 4,425 new infections, followed by Saint Petersburg with 3,018, and the Moscow region reporting 1,774 new cases.
One day earlier, the country reported 51,699 new infections, with 92 fatalities recorded in that period. These movements reflect the ongoing volatility in the pandemic’s trajectory within Russia, mirroring broader regional fluctuations.
On the global stage, reports indicate a decline in new COVID-19 deaths and infections, marking a rare dip to the lowest weekly levels observed since early July. During the most recent week, approximately 4.3 million new cases were diagnosed worldwide, about 20 percent fewer than in the previous comparable week, and roughly 40 percent lower than the starting month of the period. Roughly 13,200 deaths occurred globally in that seven-day stretch, representing the lowest weekly total since July began. Analysts attribute these shifts to a combination of vaccination coverage, public health measures, and natural fluctuations in viral transmission. These numbers are compiled from national health agencies and international health organizations, and they are used to gauge trends, inform policy decisions, and guide public health messaging for both Russia and other countries.
