Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was diagnosed with coronavirus on April 30.
Mr Mishustin was given the role of prime minister in January and has been actively involved in Russia’s handling of the epidemic.

“I have just learned that the test on the coronavirus I took was positive,” the prime minister said during the video call.
Mr Mishustin had suggested that First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov should take his place and Mr Putin agreed. Mr Mishustin will now go into self-isolation.
