Russia on Tuesday recorded its highest daily coronavirus death toll as cases linked to the Delta variant spike amid a lacklustre vaccination drive and few anti-virus restrictions.<\/p>\n

A government tally reported 895 fatalities over the past 24 hours, a record in Russia since the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

The new figure brings total deaths from COVID-19 to 211,696\u2014the highest in Europe.<\/p>\n

Authorities have been accused of playing down the severity of the outbreak.<\/p>\n

The surging infections have come without any real pandemic restrictions to limit the spread.<\/p>\n

Russia, the world’s fifth worst-hit country with more than seven million infections, has seen cases climb as vaccinations stall.<\/p>\n

Moscow, the epicentre of Russia’s outbreak, has experienced a spike over the past few weeks, with officials warning of rising hospital admissions.<\/p>\n

Authorities say that the highly contagious Delta variant now accounts for all of the cases in the Russian capital.<\/p>\n

Free jabs have been available since early December, but authorities have struggled to convince a vaccine-sceptic population to get immunised.<\/p>\n

Independent polling shows that more than half of Russians do not plan on getting a shot.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, only 29 percent of the population had been fully vaccinated, according to the Gogov website, which tallies COVID data from the regions.<\/p>\n

Under a broader definition for deaths linked to the coronavirus, statistics agency Rosstat reported in August that Russia had seen more than 350,000 fatalities.\n <\/p>\n\n
