The media convicted the Altai Territory authorities of falsifying coronavirus statistics.

According to data provided by the media, the authorities of the Altai Territory deliberately changed the statistics on the number of deaths from coronavirus in the region. So, according to the data presented, if on the eve of the day the authorities of the Altai Territory announced 22 deaths, then on June 4 only 13 deaths were announced, which became the reason for accusations by the media of falsifying statistics.
