New mortality figures released by Moscow health authorities shows the city recorded nearly 60% more deaths than usual during the height of its novel coronavirus epidemic in May.

Experts caution comparing mortality rates across countries is largely unworkable currently given the wide variation in how countries record COVID-19 deaths. But excess deaths for other major cities were also much higher than Moscow's. London recorded 9,700 excess deaths during the worst period of its epidemic,"Compared to most cities of that size, Moscow survived better," Alexey Raksha, an independent demographer in Moscow, told ABC News, based on the data currently available.

Doctors have said many hospitals were full, but the city had not run out of beds.
