According to health officials, a total of 3,807 victims and 362,342 infections have been registered in the country since the start of the pandemic.
Russia ranks third in the world after the United States and Brazil in terms of the number of confirmed infections.
Still, the number of new cases registered daily in Russia is steadily declining, and authorities in some parts of the country have begun to ease the quarantine.
According to the government, 8,915 new cases of COVID-19 were detected on the last day and a record 12,331 people recovered, believed to be a sign that the epidemic has peaked in Russia.
Restrictions are being reduced in many areas, although severely affected Moscow continues to have an isolation regime that will continue until at least the end of May.
On Monday President Vladimir Putin visited the Kremlin after spending several weeks at his residence in the capital’s suburbs.
Russia’s published death rate is much lower than in other countries with similar morbidity rates, and critics accuse the government of trying to hide the true scale of the crisis.
Russian officials, for their part, claim that only deaths directly caused by the virus are counted in the country, unlike in some states, where all deaths of people infected with COVID-19 are recorded.
