31,299 new cases of coronavirus infection were reported, but 986 people died from Covid-19, bringing the total number of deaths to 220,315, the highest European countries.
Completely vaccinated 31% of the population, according to estimates of the website “Gogov”.
In some regions, QR codes have been reintroduced for access to public places, but no other strict restrictions have been introduced.
The Kremlin has called the slow pace of vaccination unacceptable, but does not want to reintroduce severe restrictions, saying the authorities must ensure that “the economy continues to work” this week.
On Thursday, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko blamed the population for the virus and encouraged vaccinations.
“If we do not introduce general restrictive measures now, we have to take into account the risk that the number of cases will increase,” the news agency TASS quoted the minister as saying.
He did not mention any specific restrictions.
Although vaccines developed in Russia have been available for months, it is difficult for the authorities to convince people who are skeptical about the vaccines.
According to opinion polls, more than half of the population does not intend to be vaccinated.
