Current real-time data (as of 02 July 11:45) including the situation with COVID-19 in the regions of Russia (Map).
Russia’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has urged the country’s metallurgical companies to reduce their oxygen consumption in the production of steel. The request is designed to free up supply for Covid-19 patients on ventilators.
That’s according to Moscow daily RBK, which cited two sources who revealed that the Ministry is desperately trying to avoid any possible shortage. Such situations have caused suffering and anguish in India, and other states hit hard by the pandemic, like Brazil and Mexico.
Russia is currently seeing an uptick in Covid-19 cases, and an increase in patients being placed on an artificial ventilator. Two weeks ago, the head of Moscow’s top coronavirus hospital, Denis Protsenko, revealed that the number of patients needing ventilation is more than at any other time during the pandemic. In the days since he said that, daily cases have almost doubled.
According to RBK, the Ministry of Industry and Trade sent a letter to the largest metallurgical enterprises asking them to reveal how much oxygen they have purchased from medical manufactures, with the warning that their contracts may have to be revised.
“Morbidity in the third wave of Covid-19 is characterized by a much faster rate of the disease and a high proportion of patients who need oxygen therapy, which led to a large increase in the consumption of oxygen by medical institutions,” the newspaper explains.
The publication noted that the latest move to try and redistribute oxygen away from industry and towards hospitals was pushed by First Deputy Minister of Industry Vasily Osmakov, following Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin’s demand that medical institutions should be provided with a sufficient supply of the vital gas.
On Thursday, the chief pulmonologist of Russia’s Health Ministry, Sergey Avdeyev, revealed that almost all of those in the country’s hospitals on ventilators have contracted the Delta strain.
“If we compare it with the situation two or three months ago, unfortunately, today we see a more serious Covid-19 disease, and more patients require oxygen therapy and oxygen support, including ventilators,” he said.

Almost 80% of Russians surveyed are against the introduction of a new lockdown to fight against the country’s increasing number of Covid-19 cases, a survey has revealed, with over a half saying it would endanger the economy.
According to the research, conducted by Otkritie Bank, 51% of respondents are against a repeat of the kind of punitive measures seen in 2020 because of the negative consequences for the economy. This is despite rising infection figures.
A further 28% believe there is no epidemiological reason for a lockdown.
The results were reported by news agency RIA Novosti.
New restrictions are only supported by a fifth of the country, with residents of St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad Region being most in favor (32%).
Those in the South (12%) and the Volga regions (15%) are least ready for a lockdown.
The results come as Covid-19 case figures in Russia continue to rise, with the country posting record death figures for the fourth day in a row.
Unlike most of the rest of Europe, Russians have been relatively restriction-free for a year. Enforced self-isolation was imposed by the federal government at the end of March 2020, and lasted almost a month and a half. During this time, Russians were strictly prohibited from going outdoors, unless they were going food shopping, walking pets, or going to a medical appointment. After lockdown ended, each individual region was free to make its own choices on Covid-19 measures.
On Friday, Moscow Deputy Mayor Anastasia Rakova revealed that the city would do absolutely everything to avoid a lockdown, calling it a “final measure.”

According to Health Minister, as of June 25, nearly 15% of hospital beds equipped with ventilators have been occupied in Russia
MOSCOW, July 1. /TASS/. Almost all COVID-19 patients on ventilators in Russia have supposedly contracted the highly contagious Delta strain and have experienced serious symptoms, chief non-resident pulmonologist of Russia’s Health Ministry Sergey Avdeyev said on Thursday.
"It seems to me that today in our hospitals, nearly all patients, their vast majority — 90% have the notorious Delta strain. If we speak about the situation today and if we compare it with what was two or three months ago, unfortunately, today we see a more serious COVID-19 disease, more patients require oxygen therapy and oxygen support, including ventilators. I can carefully suggest that nearly all our patients today who are on ventilators have the Delta strain," the expert said.
According to Health Minister Mikhail Murashko, as of June 25, nearly 15% of hospital beds equipped with ventilators have been occupied in Russia.
The new coronavirus variant, officially labeled as ‘Delta,’ was first identified in India last October, so this strain is frequently called Indian. Earlier, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences reported that this variant could infect even people who have received the Covaxin and Covishield vaccines used in India. Its variant ‘Delta Plus’ is believed to be even more contagious.
