Rosstat published statistics on the May death rate from coronavirus. In just a month, 12,452 patients with an established diagnosis of coronavirus infection died. But this does not mean that all of them, according to official statistics, died from the coronavirus. Only 7,444 people have Covid-19 named as the main cause of death (of which 5,644 have been identified with the virus, while 1,800 have not).
