Kyrgyzstan's President Sooronbay Jeenbekov has gone into quarantine after cases of the coronavirus were detected in his accompanying delegation during his trip to Russia.

Jeenbekov and his delegation were tested for the coronavirus after they returned from Russia on Wednesday, according to a statement by the presidential press office.

Daniar Sadikov, a foreign policy official, and a guard were members of the delegation who tested positive for the coronavirus.

All the members of the delegation will remain in quarantine for 14 days, the statement noted.

The president’s test result has yet to come, and he will remain in quarantine, the statement added.

Jeenbekov had arrived in Moscow on Tuesday to attend the ceremony marking the 75th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s World War II victory over Nazi Germany.
After receiving news that two members of his delegation tested positive for the virus, the president decided not to attend the ceremony.
