Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin says he will self-isolate after testing positive for the coronavirus.
‚I have just learned that the test on the coronavirus I took was positive,‘ Mishustin said in a video call with President Vladimir Putin on April 30, adding that he will self-isolate to protect other cabinet members.
Mishustin suggested that First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov should temporarily perform his duties, but the prime minister insisted he would remain in touch on key issues.
The Kremlin later announced that Putin signed a decree appointing Belousov acting prime minister to ‚ensure uninterrupted functioning of the government.
