MOSCOW (Reuters) - Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia's southern region of Chechnya, is suspected of having contracted the new coronavirus and is receiving treatment in a Moscow hospital, three Russian new agencies reported.

The TASS news agency, quoting an unnamed medical source, said the condition of Kadyrov, who is 43, was stable, but provided no further details.

Chechen authorities have not confirmed or denied the reports and officials including Kadrov's spokesman Ilman Vakhidov did not answer telephone calls.
