In what it could be a shocker, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Mikhail Mishustin confirmed the same in a video conference.

Following this, Mishustin has nominated Deputy Prime Minister to take over his post. The move was backed by Russia President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, popularly known as Putin who issued orders in this regard.

As a result, Mikhail Mishustin went to self-isolation after getting to know the news. As of now, the positive cases in Russia surpassed the 100,000-mark, while more than 1073 succumbed to the virus.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter, to wish a speedy recovery for his Russian counterpart Mikhail Mishustin, who is the high-profile case of COVID-19 in the nation so far.

"My best wishes to Russian PM Mishustin for early recovery and good health. We stand with our close friend Russia in efforts to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic. @GovernmentRF," Narendra Modi's tweet read.
