Russia ramps up against coronavirus

MOSCOW — Russian authorities acknowledged Tuesday that a low number of coronavirus cases in the country could be a result of insufficient screening and warned that the nation must brace for the worst.

Russia has reported 495 cases and no deaths. Critics have argued the numbers are too low for a country with a 2,600-mile border with China.
