Russia eases restrictions

The European country of Russia has decided to ease the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says that the nationwide coronavirus lockdown will be eased and businesses will go back to work soon.

For the last few weeks, the country has been under a non-working period. The business sector has faced serious damages because of the restrictions.

It is expected that the easing of restrictions will boost the economy.

Not all regions may be allowed to breathe the air of freedom soon. Some regions – mainly those who have not yet recovered from the crisis – may be kept under tighter controls.

The European country at present has the third-highest number of confirmed infections worldwide.

In the last 24 hours alone, it has witnessed as many as 11,656 cases.

The official total now stands at little over 2,21,344.

Notably, unlike other states in the region, the death rate in the country is very low.
