'He's in our hearts': Family and friends still seek answers one year after Nathan Wise’s disappearance
It’s been a year since Nathan Wise went missing and his family is no closer to finding out what happened to him.
New coronavirus infections in Russia reached an all-time high on Sunday, the third consecutive daily record as the highly contagious Omicron variant spreads through the country.
The national coronavirus task force reported 63,205 new infections tallied in 24 hours -- a spike of more than 25 per cent since the record set on Friday.
The task force reported 679 deaths, similar to other daily death counts in the past week.
The Omicron variant has been detected in 64 of the country's 89 regions and Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova says that authorities expect it to become the dominant variant.
Just about half of Russia's 146 million people have been fully vaccinated despite the fact that Russia was among the first in the world to approve and roll out a COVID-19 vaccine.
In Russia, everyone who received their primary vaccination more than six months ago has been eligible for a booster shot since July.
Gogov.ru, an independent website that tracks vaccinations, estimates that 8.8 million people have also received a booster shot.
Still, daily new infections in Russia have been steadily climbing since Jan. 10.
Russia's state coronavirus task force has registered 326,112 deaths since the start of the pandemic -- by far Europe's worst death toll.
Russia's state statistics agency, which uses broader counting criteria, puts the pandemic death toll even higher, saying the number of virus-linked deaths between April 2020 and October 2021 was over 625,000.
Russia's authorities admit that current surge could end up as the country's biggest yet but so far haven't announced any major restrictions to stem it.
A nationwide lockdown wasn't being discussed, officials said, the government decided to indefinitely postpone introducing restrictions for unvaccinated people, which would have been an extremely unpopular move among vaccine-hesitant Russians.
Russia has also cut the required isolation period for people infected with COVID-19 from 14 to seven days, although it remains unclear when that takes effect.
uthorities say the country's soaring infections so far haven't led to a similar spike in hospitalizations.
