MOSCOW, April 7. /TASS/. The obligatory self-isolation for all residents has been declared in 84 out of 85 Russian administrative entities as of Tuesday, with the Central Russian region of Tver being the only exception, according to regional legislative acts.

Two more deaths were reported from St. Petersburg and the Irkutsk region, however these data are yet to be verified by the federal anti-coronavirus crisis center. Moscow accounts for the majority of cases (4,484). The Russian government set up an Internet hotline to keep the public informed about the coronavirus situation.
