He estimates that more than 150 lawmakers have been tested positive for the coronavirus so far, but at the same time he says he does not know the exact figure.
Razumkov said he had also had COVID-19.
"The disease is quite insidious and the main problem is that it comes back. Therefore, [it's a mistake] to say that you were ill and it is over now. No, unfortunately, even in parliament there are MPs who have already been ill for the second time," he added.
