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.

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.

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.

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.

Several regions, including the capital Moscow, required companies in specific industries to vaccinate at least 60 percent of their staff. Such sectors included healthcare, education, retail, and various services, among others. The restrictions were largely lifted in the spring and summer of 2022.

Attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination in Russia

When asked if they planned to get vaccinated against COVID-19, over one-quarter of Russians stated they would definitely or most probably do it, according to a survey from June 2021. Furthermore, nearly one-fifth of respondents reported being vaccinated already at that point. The most common motives to get vaccinated for Russians were to be able to travel without restrictions and not to worry about their health. The main reason behind vaccination hesitancy was a concern about the long-term consequences of COVID-19 vaccines.

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.

How COVID-19 is impacting on Russian society and economy? What is the present situation of COVID-19 spreading in Russia regions? What is the prediction of future COVID-19 spreading in Russia regions?

In July 2022, approximately 4.2 thousand coronavirus (COVID-19) patients died in Russia, while the disease was the primary cause of death for nearly 2.3 thousand. Over the observed period, the number of deaths of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in Russia peaked in November 2021.

Identifying changes in the reproduction number, rate of spread, and doubling time during the course of the COVID-19 outbreak whilst accounting for potential biases due to delays in case reporting both nationally and subnationally in the Russian Federation. These results are impacted by changes in testing effort, increases and decreases in testing effort will increase and decrease reproduction number estimates respectively.
