Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered people stay off work for at least a week, beginning Oct. 30 and stretching to Nov. 7, to encourage people to stay home and slow the spread of Covid-19

ordered people to stay off work for at least a week while Latvia has introduced a monthlong Covid-19 lockdown as deaths climb, driving renewed fears of another wave of infections as winter sets in.

In Russia, Covid-19 cases have surged to more than 34,000 a day and daily deaths from the virus have surpassed 1,000, a record, according to the government’s coronavirus task force. There is also widespread skepticism over vaccinations. Russians can choose from four homegrown shots, including Sputnik V, which made its debut in August 2020 as the world’s first registered Covid-19 vaccine. But only 31% of Russians are fully vaccinated, according to figures collected by Our World in Data, compared with 56% in the U.S., 67% in the U.K. and 86% in Portugal. Just over half of Latvia’s population has been fully vaccinated.
