MOSCOW, May 19 (MENA) - Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, who had been admitted to hospital with COVID-19, has resumed his duties, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decree published on the Kremlin website on Tuesday.
The prime minister has resumed work in the Government House, Tass news agency reported, quoting Mishustin's spokesman, Boris Belyakov as saying.
"Mikhail Vladimirovich has completed his treatment and has been discharged from the medical facility. He has resumed work in the Government House. This morning he held a working meeting with colleagues in the form of a video conference," Belyakov said.
On April 30, Mishustin announced that he had been diagnosed with the coronavirus infection.

The presidential decree has canceled an earlier decree that appointed Belousov as the acting head of government.
