Russia had over 23 million COVID-19 cases as of October 22, 2023. Over the past week, that figure increased by nearly 20 thousand. Russia had the 10th-highest number of coronavirus (COVID-19) cases worldwide. Debate about COVID-19 deaths in Russia The number of deaths from the disease was lower than in other countries most affected by the pandemic. Several foreign media sources, including New York Times and Financial Times, published articles suggesting that the official statistics on the COVID-19 death toll in Russia could be lowered. A narrow definition of a death from COVID-19 and a general increase in mortality in Moscow were pointed out while suggesting why actual death figures could be higher than reported. Russian explanation of lower COVID-19 deaths Experts and lawmakers from Russia provided several answers to the accusations. Among them were the fact that Russians timely reported symptoms to doctors, a high number of tests conducted, as well as a higher herd immunity of the population compared to other countries. In a letter to the New York Times, Moscow’s health department head argued that even if all the additional death cases in the Russian capital in April 2020 were categorized as caused by the COVID-19, the city’s mortality rate from the disease would still be lower than in cities like New York or London.For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

COVID-19 in Russia was centered in the city of Moscow, which accounted for the highest number of cases, measuring at around 3.5 million as of June 4, 2023. It was followed by Saint Petersburg with more than 1.9 million cases. In total, over 22.9 million COVID-19 cases were recorded in Russia as of June 4, 2023.

COVID-19 in Moscow The city of Moscow was Russia’s region with the largest number of conducted COVID-19 tests. Moscow's self-isolation index during the lockdown indicated that most residents stayed home. With entertainment venues, restaurants and bars, and non-food shops closed, the subway traffic in the capital decreased by 85 percent compared to the previous year. Furthermore, car sharing services were suspended in the city due to risks of the COVID-19 contagion. Until the end of 2021, pensioners in Moscow could receive 10 thousand Russian rubles for getting vaccinated.

Self-isolation regime Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Russia announced a non-working period until May 11, 2020. Its regions, or federal subjects, imposed additional quarantine measures to restrict movement of residents and transport during the shutdown. In most regions, the population could go outside only to the nearest grocery store, to walk a dog, or to see a doctor in emergency cases. Moscow authorities introduced digital passes, requiring Russians to register online before leaving home. Another lockdown was held from the end of October to the beginning of November.

New COVID-19 cases in Russia stood at over 19.9 thousand during the week ending October 22, 2023, up nearly 3.1 thousand from the previous week. The total number of confirmed cases of the disease in the country exceeded 23 million, with the capital Moscow accounting for the largest number of infected individuals. COVID-19 spread in Russia The mass spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Russia is considered to have started in March 2020, given that only two cases were recorded at the end of January and none in February. By mid-April, the disease affected all federal subjects, or regions of the country. To contain the COVID-19 outbreak, a lockdown was introduced in the country until mid-May 2020, and residents aged above 65 years were obliged to stay home for several months longer as a preventive measure. Another non-working period was announced at the end of October and the beginning of November 2021. What do Russians think about COVID-19? In February 2020, only 18 percent of the Russian population believed there was a high probability of the COVID-19 outbreak in the country. As more disease cases were reported, the society took it more seriously. In April 2020, over 90 percent of Russians supported measures taken by the national government to prevent the wider spread of the disease.For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

Context

COVID-19 virus (coronavirus) has been starting to spread inside of Russia. This is important to investigate and understand the spreading from a very low level. The world-level data is representing Russia virus cases as a single point. But Russia is a very huge and heterogeneous country. For better analyze we have to consider Russia infection cases distributed by region. So this is a dataset of regions distributed COVID-19 virus inside of Russia.
