May 11, 2020 / By Greg Norman | Fox News
A record surge in coronavirus cases has now placed Russia among the top three countries in the world most affected by the deadly disease.
Russia on Monday reported 11,656 new cases in the last 24 hours, bringing its overall total up to 221,344. That figure has now passed the number of cases in Italy and the United Kingdom – and is only behind Spain and the United States, the world’s leader.
More than half of the new cases reported Monday – and in Russia in general – are in its capital of Moscow, according to Reuters.
