Russia pushed ahead Friday with plans to ease coronavirus restrictions despite reporting more than 10,000 new cases, with its football league set to return next month and thousands being tested for antibodies. Health officials said 10,598 new infections had been confirmed in the last 24 hours, bringing the country's total to 262,843, the second-highest in the world after the United States. The number of cases has surged in recent weeks but officials say this is largely due to extensive testing, with more than six million tests carried out so far, and point to Russia's relatively low mortality rate as proof the country is managing the crisis.
