A special disinfectant tunnel has been installed in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s house to protect him from coronavirus, state news agency RIA-Novosti reported Tuesday.
The walk-through facility has been built into Putin’s Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow. The Russian leader has largely been working from the house via videoconference during the Covid-19 pandemic, with only a few in-person meetings.
The tunnel is designed to disinfect everyone passing through it with a “fine water mist,” the RIA report said.
The agency said the announcement about the installation of the tunnel was made by Ivan Belozertsev, governor of Russia’s Penza region.
