The number of cases of coronavirus in St. Petersburg over the past day continues to be less than 2,000 people – as of December 18, it was 1,997 infected, which is 13 people more than in the previous day.
The number of those who recovered exceeded the number of infected and amounted to 2348 people, while the number of deaths increased by 8 compared to the previous day and reached 71 infected. Similar death rates from COVID-19 were observed in St. Petersburg at the end of November, when the number of infected people began to decline.
As follows from the statistics of the federal operational headquarters for combating coronavirus infection, the prevalence rate of COVID-19 is equal to one. This indicator indicates how many people, on average, infects one sick patient before he is isolated, and serves as the basis for easing or tightening coronavirus restrictions.
Meanwhile, information appears in the Russian media about both the possible mitigation of coronavirus restrictions in St. Petersburg, and the inclusion of the Northern capital in the number of regions of the Russian Federation, where QR codes can be canceled due to the achievement of a high level of herd immunity. There is no official information on the cancellation of QR codes in individual regions of the Russian Federation.
