[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The number of new daily COVID-19 cases in Russia has remained in the 5,000 range for four consecutive days, indicating signs of a resurgence.

The Russian government's COVID-19 Prevention and Control Headquarters announced on the 7th (local time) that "5185 new infections were reported nationwide, including Moscow, over the past day, bringing the total confirmed cases to 1,030,690."

Russia's daily new cases had stayed in the 4,000 range for 19 consecutive days from the 16th of last month but rose back to the 5,000 range on the 4th.

With cumulative confirmed cases surpassing 1,030,000, Russia ranks fourth in the world after the United States, India, and Brazil.

The number of COVID-19 deaths in Russia increased by 51 in one day, totaling 17,871.

Experts analyze that the risk of COVID-19 transmission has increased as residents of major cities return from vacations after the holiday season, and most schools resumed normal attendance starting from the 1st.

Additionally, the resumption of some international flights since last month is also considered a factor contributing to the rise in confirmed cases.
