Russia has reported another daily record of confirmed coronavirus cases as a surge in infections prompted the Kremlin to tell most people to stay away from work starting later this week, AP reports.
The Russian government's coronavirus task force tallied 37,930 new confirmed cases in 24 hours, the highest number since the start of the pandemic.
The task force also reported 1,069 more Covid-19 deaths in the same period, slightly fewer than a record of 1,075 reached over the weekend.
