Russian President Vladimir Putin will self-isolate after cases of COVID-19 were detected in his entourage, according to a report.

The Kremlin on Tuesday said that Putin will not travel to Tajikistan this week for planned regional security meetings, Reuters reported.

Putin called Tajikistan’s President Emomali Rahmon and told him he could not travel because he was self-isolating and would instead take part in meetings via a video link.

In June, Putin revealed that he had received the domestically developed Sputnik V vaccine earlier this year.
