Putin made the announcement in a televised speech on Monday. Even today, a record number of people in the country are infected with the coronavirus.
In the last 24 hours, 11,758 new cases have been reported, bringing the total number of infected people in Russia to 221,344. With this, the country has risen to fourth place in the number of victims in the world.
The infection is now higher in Britain, Spain, and the United States than in Russia alone. According to an update from Johns Hopkins University, the number of people infected so far is 224,326 in the UK, 224,350 in Spain and 1,332,411 in the United States.
Russia has imposed a blockade since late March to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, and President Vladimir Putin extended it to the entire country until May 11 after the April 30 deadline.
People have been forced to work from home in closing, and businesses have also closed. As a result, many are in economic crisis and unemployment has doubled to 1.4 million in a month. Putin is now about to ease the blockade restrictions to keep the situation under control.
However, he said, the adjustment will gradually rise. Large public gatherings will be banned and people 65 and older must stay home. Only workers in a few sectors, such as construction and agriculture with financial damage, will return to work. They also have to be careful.
Furthermore, different regions of Russia will take similar measures taking into account the situation in their respective regions. For example, the capital Moscow will continue to close until May 31. Infection and mortality rates are higher in Moscow than anywhere else in the country.
More than half of the infected people in Russia are residents of Moscow. The total number of infected people in Moscow was 115,909 on Monday, with 6,196 new cases. More than half of Russia’s total deaths occurred in Moscow.
The death toll rose to 2,099 in Russia on Monday with 94 new deaths, the Crisis Response Center said. However, the number of deaths from coronavirus in Russia remains lower than in many other countries in the world.
