New coronavirus infections in Russia reached an all-time high on Sunday, the third consecutive daily record as the highly contagious Omicron variant spreads through the country.

The national coronavirus task force reported 63,205 new infections tallied in 24 hours -- a spike of more than 25 per cent since the record set on Friday.The Omicron variant has been detected in 64 of the country's 89 regions and Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova says that authorities expect it to become the dominant variant.

In Russia, everyone who received their primary vaccination more than six months ago has been eligible for a booster shot since July. Russia's state statistics agency, which uses broader counting criteria, puts the pandemic death toll even higher, saying the number of virus-linked deaths between April 2020 and October 2021 was over 625,000.

A nationwide lockdown wasn't being discussed, officials said, the government decided to indefinitely postpone introducing restrictions for unvaccinated people, which would have been an extremely unpopular move among vaccine-hesitant Russians.
