There is now a major scare over President Vladimir Putin's health after a Russia's top Coronavirus doctor was diagnosed with COVID-19, just one week after meeting and shaking hands with the Russian leader. 


Denis Protsenko, 44, who is the head of Konnunarka infectious disease hospital, was visited by Putin last week, and the pair were pictured too close and even shook hands twice without protective gear.

He wrote: 'Dear friends, I am very moved by your concern. Yes indeed I have been tested positive for CoV, but I am feeling myself quite all right. I have isolated myself in my office where there is everything for remote work, management and telemedicine consultations. I think that the immunity developed during this month must be doing its job.... Stay tuned.'
