Peskov said that Putin is oppressed by information about deaths from COVID-19

President Vladimir Putin is most oppressed by the high death toll due to the CORONAVIRUS. This was stated by his press secretary Dmitry Peskov in the film by Naili Asker-zade “Dangerous virus. The second year" on the TV channel "Russia 1".

“Mortality is probably what most oppresses both the president and, of course, everyone who works in the government headquarters. The mortality rate is really high, it’s a tragedy, because they really die every day for a long time - every day we lose more than 1,000 or 1,200 of our fellow citizens, ”said Peskov (quoted by TASS).

According to the operational headquarters, 1,023 people died per day due to the consequences of covid-19 , which was the lowest figure in the last two months. Since mid-October, the death rate has been at the level of more than 1 thousand people. The record for this indicator was set on November 19 (1254).

The total number of deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the operational headquarters, is 297,203. Most of them since the beginning of the spread of infection have been recorded in Moscow (35,886), St. Petersburg (27,329) and the Moscow Region (11,491).
