The Moscow Times reports that at least 376 Russian cadets have been infected with COVID-19. They were practicing for a parade to be held in Moscow's Red Square.

The last rehearsal for the parade took place on April 16, the day when Putin postponed the event and vowed to hold it later in 2020, an unnamed participant told Proekt.

The virus broke out among officers and cadets in at least five elite Russian military academies and one regiment - out of the more than 40 involved - following the parade rehearsals, Proekt cited participants and their relatives as saying.
