Russian doctor who shook Putin's hand tests positive for coronavirus

A Russian doctor who was in proximity to Russian President Vladimir Putin last week was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus, according to the country's primary hospital dealing with the outbreak.

Denis Protsenko, the chief of the Kommunarka hospital, was seen greeting Putin on March 24. The two shook hands and walked together as Putin toured the hospital.

At one point during the tour, Putin exchanged his suit for hazardous-material gear and also an Asics track suit.

Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said "everything is fine" and reiterated that the Russian president was being regularly tested for the coronavirus, according to AFP.

Protsenko reportedly confirmed on his Facebook account that he tested positive and was self-quarantining himself to his office.

Maybe Trump should pay his buddy Putin a visit.
