Last Thursday, Prime Minister Michael Michaustin announced that he had contracted the virus, and his office spokesperson, Boris Belyakov, said yesterday that he was "generally okay".
He explained that the treatment of Mechostine is "as scheduled" in a general hospital, adding that the Prime Minister "is actively communicating by phone with his colleagues."
While several European countries have begun to gradually lift the procedures for the closure, Russia is witnessing the spread of the epidemic much faster than the rest of Europe, knowing that the United Kingdom recorded, on Monday, 4000 additional injuries only.
But the death rate remains limited compared to countries like Italy, Spain or the United States. The authorities say this is due to the rapid closure of the border, more than four million checks and follow-up to the spread of infection, but there are those who question these figures.
According to a statistic for "Agence France Presse", Russia is ranked 18th in the world in terms of the number of deaths from the "Corona" virus, while it is ranked seventh in terms of the number of infections.

This toll exceeds that of Italy, which was the most affected in Europe, although its outcome does not include suspected deaths.
The number of daily deaths has decreased significantly in recent days in Europe, prompting the authorities to lift some restrictions. But it kept mandatory social separation, and imposed new measures such as mandatory wearing of the mask on public transportation or shops and public places, to avoid a new wave of injuries.
In the United States, some states decided to lift isolation measures.
