RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN'S SPOKESMAN TESTS POSITIVE FOR CORONAVIRUS

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov
said on Tuesday he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus and was
receiving treatment at hospital, Russian news agencies reported.

“Yes, I am sick. I am receiving treatment,” Peskov was quoted as saying by the
Interfax news agency.

Peskov said he had last met Putin in person over a month ago, the TASS news
agency reported. The Kremlin says Putin’s health is rigorously protected and
that he gets the best medical treatment Russia has to offer.

Putin, who has been working remotely from his residence outside Moscow and
holding many meetings via video conference, held a face-to-face meeting earlier
on Tuesday with Igor Sechin, the head of oil giant Rosneft.

Peskov, Putin’s spokesman, is the latest high profile government or Kremlin
official to fall ill with the new virus.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told Putin at the end of April he had been
diagnosed with the virus and was temporarily stepping down to recover.

Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova tested positive earlier this month, her
spokeswoman said, and Construction Minister Vladimir Yakushev and one of his
deputies were earlier diagnosed with the virus.

Russian factory and construction workers returned to work on Tuesday despite a
new surge in coronavirus cases which gave Russia the second highest number of
infections in the world after the United States.
