Vladimir Putin coronavirus scare as physician he shook hands with a week ago tests positive for infection

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 pair were seen close together and twice shook hands without protective gear.
