Putin says Russia can beat virus in two-three months as flights halted, shops to shut

President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he hoped Russia would defeat coronavirus in 2-3 months if it imposed tough measures, as authorities suspended international flights, ordered most shops in the capital to shut and halted some church services. Russia reported 182 new coronavirus cases, its biggest one-day rise yet, bringing its official tally to 840. Authorities in the capital and the region that surrounds it announced the closure of all cafes, restaurants and shops, apart from those selling food and medicine, beginning on Saturday and lasting at least until April 5.
