Putin to Self-Isolate After Covid-19 Outbreak in Kremlin
(Bloomberg) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin will go into self-isolation after being exposed to several people in his entourage infected with Covid-19, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.
The 68-year-old leader is “absolutely healthy” and has tested negative for Covid-19, Peskov told a regular conference call. Putin will avoid in-person meetings for “some time,” he said. Plans to fly to Dushanbe, Tajikistan, this week to attend regional summit meetings were canceled and Putin will participate via video conference, he said.
Putin said he’d spent an entire day with one of the infected people, who was among his closest staffers. That person had been vaccinated and received a booster shot just three days before falling ill, Putin said in televised comments.
Vaccine Test
Putin has eased once-strict restrictions on public events and meetings in recent months, following the announcement earlier this year that he received Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine against Covid.
