Corona virus: Russia's cases rise by 10,000 in one-day record

Russia has recorded 10,633 new corona virus infections in the past 24 hours, the highest daily rise since the outbreak began in the country.

The increase brings Russia's total number of corona virus cases to 134,686, the seventh highest tally in the world.

But Russia's mortality rate remains low relative to other countries, such as the US, Italy and Spain.

On Sunday, a further 58 coronavirus-related deaths were announced, bringing the total to 1,280 in Russia.

Moscow has been hit particularly hard by the virus, leaving its healthcare system struggling to cope.

 

Moscow's mayor Sergei Sobyanin on Saturday cautioned against complacency, saying the capital was not past the peak of its coronavirus epidemic.

The mayor said around 2% of residents in the city - around 250,000 people - had tested positive for coronavirus. On Sunday, Moscow's total number of cases jumped by 5,948 to a total of 68,606.

A strict lockdown has been imposed in Moscow, where its 12 million residents have been ordered to stay at home with few exceptions.

Mr Mishustin, who was appointed as PM in January, was still being treated in hospital on Sunday. His spokesman said he was feeling fine, enabling him to work from hospital.

On Friday, Russia's housing minister, Vladimir Yakushev, became the second senior minister to be confirmed to have Covid-19.

 

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases here is rising steadily each day. The Russian authorities put that down to a big increase in testing - over 40,000 people a day, in Moscow alone.

They also say up to half of the new cases are people without symptoms - including those detected through screening, like healthcare workers.

Still, the virus is spreading more quickly now in Russia's regions - where hospital facilities are far worse than in the capital and where medics have been complaining they don't have the masks and protective clothing to keep them safe.

And even here, in Moscow, some 1,700 people are being admitted to hospital each day, increasing the strain on the system.

 

President Putin has extended a nationwide non-working period until 11 May, saying "the peak is not behind us".

Beyond that, the president said his government will consider gradually lifting coronavirus restrictions from 12 May, depending on the region.

Last week, Mr Putin admitted there was a shortage of protective kit for medics on the frontline of the coronavirus crisis.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said situation remains "very serious", warning Russians to brace for a "gruelling phase of the pandemic" in the weeks ahead.

Earlier in the week Russian Prime Minister, Mikhail Mishustin, confirmed he had been diagnosed with Covid-19, the first senior minister in the country to do so.

UK shadows Italy as worst hit in Europe with death toll surging past 28,000

The United States has had 64,740 deaths, followed by Italy with 28,710 and the United Kingdom on 28,131 and then Spain on 25,100, according to a Reuters tally.

The United Kingdom's death toll from Covid-19 rose 621 to 28,131 as of May 1, just short of Italy which has so far had the world's second most deadly outbreak of the disease after the United States.

As Britain shadows Italy for the grim status of being the worst-hit country in Europe, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing criticism from opposition parties who say his government stumbled in the early stages of the outbreak.

Housing minister Robert Jenrick gave the latest UK figures at a Downing Street briefing on Saturday.

The United States has had 64,740 deaths, followed by Italy with 28,710 and the United Kingdom on 28,131 and then Spain on 25,100, according to a Reuters tally.

Italy, which has a population of 60 million, said its death toll rose 474 as of Saturday. The United Kingdom has a population of about 67 million.

Johnson, 55, initially resisted introducing a lockdown to restrict economic and public activity, but changed course when projections showed a quarter of a million people could die.

Johnson himself battled Covid-19 last month, spending three days in intensive care. He returned to work on Monday, telling the nation that people around the world were looking at the United Kingdom's "apparent success".

TESTS FOR EASING LOCK DOWN

He has said the country is over the peak but that it is still too early to relax the lockdown he imposed on March 23 because there could be a second peak that he fears might overwhelm hospitals.

The $3.0 trillion British economy, the world's fifth-largest, is stalling and Johnson is due next week to present a possible way to get the country back to work without triggering a second spike in cases.

He has set five tests that must be met before he can lift the lockdown - with a reduction in the daily death toll and prevention of a second deadly peak among the key ones.

Government scientists said that while the daily death tolls show a downward trend they expect them to plateau for a while.

Japan expected to extend state of emergency until May-end

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is set to extend the country's state of emergency today until the end of May, Reuters has reported citing public broadcaster NHK.

The government is also expected to determine new prevention measures. The novel coronavirus outbreak has infected around 15,000 people and killed more than 500 in the country so far.

Abe is expected to explain the reasoning behind the extension of the state of emergency, which is now due to expire on 6 May.
