Earlier, the Minister of Health Konstantin Halzov said that several more patients with confirmed coronavirus had died in the Novosibirsk Region, but they did not fall into death statistics. The official could not name the total number of such deaths. The delay in confirmation of the causes of death may be related to the recommendations of the Federal Rospotrebnadzor that the cause of death should be called only after the autopsy.

In the Novosibirsk region, 1511 people fell ill, of which 64 over the past day.

The total number of infected in Siberia reached 7741 people, of which 86 died from the Covid-19. Almost 263 thousand people fell ill in all over Russia, of which more than 58 thousand were already recovered. The authorities reported 2418 deaths. The country entered the second in the world in the number of those who sick after the United States, but the mortality officially declared by the authorities is much lower than in other states. Against this background, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to remove the federal regime of “non -working days” from May 12, transferring all the same restrictions to the level of regions.
