Russia has reported 34.303 cases of new coronavirus infections in the past 24 hours, a record number since the start of the pandemic, according to data from the state coronavirus working group on Sunday.

Also, the number of deaths is 997, five less than the daily record of 1,002 reported the day before.

Recent coronavirus deaths have increased the official national death toll to 223.312, bringing the total to nearly 8 million.

Russian authorities have blamed a slow vaccination campaign on a sharp rise in infections and deaths, forcing the health ministry to call for retired, vaccinated doctors to return to hospitals.
