The coronavirus spread

Russia’s coronavirus spread rate grew to 1.04 in the past 24 hours, a new high since January 17, according to TASS estimates based on the anti-coronavirus crisis center’s data released on Sunday.

Moscow’s coronavirus spread rate rose to 1.29 in the past day, a new high since March 15.

The coronavirus spread rate remained above 1 only in one out of ten Russian regions with the largest number of COVID-19 cases, besides Moscow: it equaled 1.03 in the Arkhangelsk Region. In the Moscow, St. Petersburg and Rostov Regions it stood at 1.

The coronavirus spread rate was 0.99 in the Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk Region, 0.98 in the Nizhny Novgorod and Sverdlovsk Regions, 0.97 in the Voronezh Region.

The coronavirus spread rate shows the number of people one patient can infect before being isolated. Along with other criteria, it was used to define the regions’ readiness for a step-by-step removal of restrictions introduced last spring to combat the epidemic. Now this rate is used to adopt decisions on resuming regular passenger service with foreign countries.

In accordance with the Federal Service for Surveillance of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing’s recommendations, the borders with a country may be opened if the coronavirus spread rate does not exceed 1 for a week.

Russia’s COVID-19 cases climbed by 61,062 in the past seven days, some 3% fewer than a week earlier, according to TASS estimates based on the anti-coronavirus crisis center’s data.

Currently, the country’s incidence rate stands at the lowest level since September, however, in Moscow, it surged by the end of the week. From March 22 to 28, some 11,088 COVID-19 cases were recorded in Russia’s capital, while from March 29 to April 4, the figure reached 12,016.

According to the crisis center, Russia’s death toll has been declining for the third week in a row. Over the past seven days, the country registered 2,634 deaths compared to 2,710 the previous week, a record low since early November last year. However, the relative mortality rate continues to grow, increasing from 2.16% to 2.19%.

As many as 64,953 people recovered this week, the crisis center noted. This is significantly fewer than the previous seven days when 69,733 recoveries were reported. Nevertheless, the share of recoveries rose from 91.6% to 91.8%.

The number of so-called active COVID-19 cases (patients who are currently receiving treatment) dropped by 6,525 to 276,439 this week, having reached a record low since mid-October.
