Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the leader of the LDPR party, deputy of the State Duma of Russia, concealed for two weeks that he had contracted the coronavirus. This is reported by Kommersant, citing a source close to the Ministry of Health.

The interlocutor of the publication stressed that the deputy decided not to talk about infection with the infection, so as not to introduce unnecessary doubts into the ranks of supporters of vaccination.

The source stressed that the central office of the Liberal Democratic Party told employees that Zhirinovsky decided, in order to prevent, given the massive infection with the omicron strain, to temporarily go into home quarantine and work remotely. The true reason for Zhirinovsky's isolation was known only to the politician's personal bodyguards, his assistants and the head of the party's Central Asia.

The interlocutor of Kommersant notes that on February 2, a week after infection, the doctors of the Central Clinical Hospital of the Administration of the President of Russia diagnosed Zhirinovsky with developing pneumonia and offered him treatment in the station.

Earlier, the source said that Zhirinovsky's condition does not require connection to a ventilator.
