Russian State Duma President Volodin said that 11 parliamentarians could not participate in the first plenary session of the eighth session of the Russian State Duma due to the new crown epidemic.

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency reported on October 13, Russian State Duma President Volodin said that 11 parliamentarians were infected with the new crown virus. Volokin also said that "70% of parliamentarians have been vaccinated at the moment, which is still not enough." ”

For reasons of epidemic prevention, he supported the continued restriction of the work of the State Duma, which should be taken remotely, taking temperature at the entrance of the building, and restricting visits to the State Duma building.

Russian Health Minister Murashko said at the meeting of the Presidium of the Coordinating Committee on the Fight against the New Coronavirus on the 12th that the infection rate of the new crown virus in Russia last week increased by 16% compared with the previous week. Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an increase in the vaccination rate of the new crown on the same day. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov also mentioned earlier that the current Russian covid-19 vaccination rate is unacceptably low.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Russia has recently worsened. According to the News of the Russian New Crown Epidemic Prevention and Control Command on the 12th, in the past day, there were 28,190 new cases of new coronavirus infection in Russia, and the cumulative number of infections exceeded 7.832 million.
