Russia overtook India and several other countries to become second in the world in terms of the number of officially registered deaths from COVID-19 per day. Higher than in Russia, the daily increase in the number of deaths from CORONAVIRUS infection on July 6 is only in Brazil.

According to this indicator, Russia is in 15th place in the world and in first place in Europe (3.27 deaths per 100 thousand people). The top five countries in the ranking of states in terms of mortality from COVID-19 are four Latin American countries and one African: Paraguay (11.62 deaths per week per 100 thousand people), Namibia (9.64), Colombia (8.29) , Argentina (7.38) and Suriname (6.48).

The data of the operational headquarters of the Russian government on mortality from coronavirus, which WHO focuses on, differ from the calculations of Rosstat. From April 2020 to April 2021, the agency counted about 270 thousand deaths. The two-fold difference is explained by a different calculation method - Rosstat includes cases when the coronavirus was detected after death, as well as deaths caused by other diseases against the background of COVID-19.

According to the daily increase in new cases of COVID-19 detected per day, Russia is in sixth place in the world (23,378), India is in the lead (34,703). At the same time, in terms of the incidence rate (the number of new cases of COVID-19 in seven days per 100,000 people), Russia is at the end of the fourth ten.
