A major scare over Vladimir Putin's health emerged today as Russia's top coronavirus doctor was stuck down with Covid-19 - one week after meeting and shaking hands with the Kremlin leader. Denis Protsenko, 44, heads Konnunarka infectious disease hospital, which was visited by Putin last week. The Kremlin sought to reassure Russians today by saying that Putin was regularly tested for coronavirus and 'everything is okay'. Russian authorities imposed a week long home quarantine to prevent the spread of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 which causes the COVID-19 disease. 'Putin would not be Putin if he did not decide to go there.'
