Why so many Covid-19 deaths in Italy?

The Russian government initiated a whole range of measures to combat the spread of the Covid-19 coronavirus. Starting from March 28, all restaurants, bars, motels, children's camps and ski resorts will be closed across Russia. Regional authorities have been advised to ban all public events and close movie theaters. As of the morning of March 27, the number of officially registered cases of coronavirus infection in Russia exceeded one thousand and reached the mark of 1,036. Three people died, 45 patients recovered from hospitals. On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation. He announced a non-working week from March 30 to April 5 with the preservation of wages, noting that this measure should curb the spread of coronavirus in Russia. Russian students have already gone on vacation until April 12, and the country's universities have switched to distance learning. Meanwhile, Italy still remains the country that suffers from the coronavirus pandemic most. As of March 27, the Covid-19 death toll in Italy amounts to 9,134 people, and the number continues to grow. Official reports take into account only confirmed cases of coronavirus infection. The real number of deaths could be considerably higher.
