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.
