Interfax news agency confirmed that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov revealed that tests had shown that he had contracted the new virus and was receiving treatment at the hospital. “Yes, I am ill and I am receiving treatment,” the agency quoted him as saying.
In response to a question about when the Russian president last met, Peskov replied: “More than a month ago.”
Piskov, who is close to Putin and who accompanies him on all his trips, has not held his daily press conference since May 6.
He was not seen recently with Putin, who has held regular video conferences since early April, especially with members of the government or provincial heads, from his residence in Novo-Ugarevo, near Moscow.
On April 30, Prime Minister Mikhail Michaustin announced that he would be undergoing a domestic quarantine due to his infection with the emerging coronavirus.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Prime Minister is recovering from the Corona virus, stressing that he communicates with him every day and participates in work in progress and the preparation of all decisions.
Russia, which has recorded since the start of the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, has become approximately 232,243 cases of the emerging coronavirus, the second country in the world in terms of number of infections, according to an AFP count, the Tuesday, according to official figures.
The United States represents the highest number of injuries (more than 1.34 million), followed by Russia before Spain (228,030) and Great Britain (223,060).
The Russian authorities have interpreted this high number, with more than ten thousand cases a day, ten days ago, with the Russian strategy of carrying out tests to detect the disease in large quantities, with the aim of identifying and isolating people with epidemics that do not they have less severe symptoms and cases.

And for deaths, at 2,166 deaths, Russia is still a long way from levels recorded in the United States, Spain, Britain or even Germany, which is a pioneer in taking steps to curb the spread of the virus.
Russia, which reached the epidemic after its spread in Western Europe, highlights that the few deaths are due to evidence, but also because it ordered, as of March, the isolation of travelers from countries with injuries, as well as the population more vulnerable, and reorganized its hospital system.
But some critics argue that the deaths of thousands of people have been ignored and suspect that authorities attribute the deaths of Covid-19 patients for other reasons.
This occurs when Russia begins a gradual reduction of the general isolation measures imposed to combat the Corona virus, starting today, Tuesday.
