COVID-19: Russia’s Putin protected by disinfection tunnel
Moscow, 17th June: Russian President is protected against the deadly coronavirus through a special disinfection tunnel that anyone visiting his residence must pass through.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is protected from the novel coronavirus by a special disinfection tunnel that anyone visiting his residence outside Moscow must pass through, the state-controlled RIA news agency reported on Tuesday.
The special tunnel, manufactured by a Russian company based in the town of Penza, has been installed at his official Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow where he receives visitors, it said.
Second wave of coronavirus would be deadlier
Demonstration footage of the tunnel, published by RIA, showed masked people passing through it being sprayed with disinfectant from the ceiling and from the side.
The Russian news agency described the disinfectant as a fine cloud of liquid that covered people’s clothes and any exposed upper body flesh.
People with blood type ‘O’ unlikely to contract COVID-19: Study
Putin’s spokesman informed in April that anyone meeting the president in person was first tested for the novel coronavirus. A month later his spokesman got infected with the virus.
Russia has recorded over 500,000 infections, the third-highest number of cases in the world after Brazil and the United States, something it attributes to a massive testing program. Russia has registered 7,284 deaths so far.
