Dmitry Peskov was today confirmed as having tested positive for the coronavirus, who also happens to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s most trusted henchman.
He is suspected to have checked into the Kremlin clinic, otherwise known as Moscow Central Clinical Hospital. Currently the Russian contraction number has surpassed the UK and Spain, with a staggering statistic of 232,243. It is now the second-largest when it comes to the numbers, beaten only by the USA which boasts as a shameful record for public health. 107 dead is the current number from Russia.
Reports and eyewitness accounts have proclaimed that after Peskov’s last vis-a-vis with Putin on 30 April, he has reportedly said ‘I got sick.
I’m getting treatment.’ The authorities in place are now making sure that Putin doesn’t contract it through recent internal problems caused by the staff. Putin was today seen with his close ally Igor Sechin with neither wearing protective masks.
Sechin is now head of energy giant Rosneft. Russia announced a record number of deaths today as the country’s official infection cases passed those of Britain.
Meanwhile, the allegations of Kremlin’s exaggeration and intentionally misguided.
Russia now has 10,899 new cases with a record 107 new deaths. This will bring Russia’s Covid-19 death toll to 2,116. Today marks the tenth day in a row that Russia has seen more than 10,000 new cases, after the number of new cases per-day rose dramatically in the second half of April.
Putin has attributed this steep rise to an increase in testing. There are several claims that this is not only doctored enough to make the effect look smaller, but also that the correct sample group haven’t been available for this video.
250,000 Russians are under medical surveillance in Moscow, but the stats show that there must be other factors that would make matters worse in Russia when it comes to correct prognosis and understanding of the pandemic situation.
The Financial Times showed “2,073 more deaths in April in Moscow and St Petersburg compared to the average figure for the past five years.” This shows that, according to the newspaper” . ‘If added to the reported national figure of 2,009 Covid deaths as of Monday morning, this would mean a 72 per cent increase in Russia’s national death toll,’ stated the newspaper.
