President Vladimir Putin held a video conference with his subordinates on agricultural policy on Monday, writes Bloomberg.
During the video conference, which was also broadcast on television, Putin coughed a number of times.
The coughing led to speculation that he had been infected with the coronavirus.
In a meeting with the National Security Council later on Monday, also televised, Putin was asked about his health by the head of the upper house, Valentina Matvijenko.
– Do not be afraid, everything is fine. They test me practically every day. Not only for covid-19, but also for all other types of infections, so everything is fine, Putin said.
Instead, 69-year-old Putin blamed the room for being cold.
The incident comes just weeks after Putin in September isolated himself for a period after being in close contact with corona-infected people.
