Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier in the day announced that the country's Gamaleya Research Institute had registered the world's first anti-coronavirus vaccine and that production will commence in the near future, marking a possible end to the global pandemic.

Production of the first doses of the vaccine against COVID-19 has already begun at the Russian company AFK Sistema's Binnopharm pharmaceutical factory. The plant is expected to make up to 1.5 million doses per year and is only one of many working on the rapid delivery of the much-needed drug.
