		</div><p>A fire at a hospital in St Petersburg has killed five coronavirus patients who were on ventilators, Russian emergency officials said.</p>
<p>The fire broke out in an intensive care unit at the St George Hospital and was put out within half an hour. It could have been caused by a faulty ventilator, the Interfax news agency reported.</p>
<p>Police in St Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, have launched a criminal investigation into the fire.</p>
<p>It was not the first deadly fire in a coronavirus hospital in Russia. On Saturday, a fire in the Spasokukotsky Hospital in Moscow killed one patient.</p>
<p>Russia has reported more than 220,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and 2,009 deaths – numbers that international health officials say significantly undercount the true toll of Russia’s outbreak.</p>
<p>Treating coronavirus patients has put a strain on the country’s vastly outdated healthcare infrastructure.</p>
