Moscow's authorities have more than doubled the official death toll from Covid-19 in the Russian capital for the month of April.
The city's health department now says 1,561 people died from the disease - not 639 as initially announced.
The department stressed the new tally included even the most "controversial, debatable" cases.
Russia has had 380,000 confirmed infections - the world's third highest number behind the US and Brazil.
Despite this, Russia's official death toll is only 4,142.
