Dmitry Peskov: 'Isn't He Putin? Who Would Infect Him with the Coronavirus?'

The staff interacting with Russian President Vladimir Putin adheres to quarantine and epidemiological rules to ensure that no one infects the state leader. All precautionary measures have been taken: the head of state is vaccinated, making such an outcome unlikely, stated presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov in Naile Asker-zade's film 'Dangerous Virus: The Second Year' aired on the 'Rossiya 1' television channel, as reported by TASS.

'Isn't he Putin? Who would infect him?' Peskov replied when asked if there is any plan in case someone does infect Putin.

At the same time, Peskov noted that he 'does not want to think or talk about such a turn of events.' 'That is why a necessary number of specialists, doctors, etc., work around the president to ensure his epidemiological safety,' emphasized the presidential press secretary.

He added that all those who in one way or another are connected to and work with Putin maintain the necessary epidemiological safety rules. 'And that is why the president, as a responsible citizen of the Russian Federation, has been vaccinated, subsequently revaccinated, and also participated in the additional testing of the nasal drop vaccine,' Peskov highlighted.
