   MOSCOW - The United States said on Tuesday it would this week start
   delivering 200 medical ventilators to Russia, which has the world's
   second highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases.

   Russia reported 9,263 new infections on Tuesday, pushing its nationwide
   total to 299,941, and 115 more deaths, taking the total death toll to
   2,837. Only the United States has reported more coronavirus cases.

   The new cases were for a fourth successive day below 10,000. Prime
   Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Monday Russia had halted the growth
   in infections and that there were other positive signs.
