After Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in mid-April that the coronavirus situation in the country was completely under control, an outbreak forced him to take strict measures of social distancing from regional authorities. Some observers said that Russian authorities may have underestimated the number of coronavirus cases and deaths from Covid-19 due to less evidence.
