Russia reported more recoveries than coronavirus cases for the fifth day in a row on Saturday.
According to daily figures released by the country’s emergency team, 7,889 people tested positive for coronavirus over the past 24 hours, while 10,186 patients were discharged from hospitals across Russia.
RECOVERIES STAND AT 334,592.
The total number of cases in the country since February now stands at 576,952 and recoveries are at 334,592.
No new cases have been reported for several days in various regions of the country, most of them in the arctic zone, despite colder climates being believed to be more favorable for the virus’ transmission.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the country “is coming out of the coronavirus pandemic with minimal losses.”
However, he told government members that “there are still enough problems … and not everything and not everywhere is as good as we would like.”
