Authorities are throwing students to the front against Covid-19
Russian authorities ordered students in upper courses at universities and medical schools to begin internships in hospitals hosting patients with coronavirus on May 1, Kommersant reported Thursday. Currently, hundreds of students volunteer to fight the virus, but now many of them share on social media and talk about their fears that they will not be able to reject the practice, otherwise they will be deprived of scholarships or other sanctions.
Even before the coronary pandemic hit Russia, doctors complained about the shortage of people and resources. Now the situation worsens with each passing day.
This week, nurses massively abandoned Communard, Moscow’s main hospital, to treat patients with Covid-19, due to poor conditions and low wages until doctors began publishing a list of colleagues who had already died from the virus while treating patients across the country. So far, they are 70 in number, notes the Moscow Times.
To address the shortage of front-line doctors, the ministries of health and education issued a special order to universities after the mayor of Moscow made a request to the prime minister. Therefore, all third-year students rise to careers. “cure”, “pediatrics”, “medical prevention“” dentistry “a also two years of nursing education, May 1 to begin “hands-on training” in hospitals where patients are treated Covid-19.
Medical students In Russia, they begin their education at the age of 16, which means that students who are currently 17 or 18 years old will enroll in these hospitals.
Universities have told students that refusing to practice will mean failing to meet academic requirements.
Students were told that their internship would be paid if they worked in the “red zone”, where doctors contacted coronavirus patients directly, but not if they worked in the “green zone.” Currently, the majority of students in the Red Zone are nurses.
On Wednesday, the Department of Health of the Moscow City Council said that the students would take 100,000 rubles (1 369 46 Dollars) per month and you can choose between different types of work.
However, students are skeptical that they will pay that much. A medical student working as a nurse in a clinic at the First Moscow State Medical University says she has not yet seen the terms of her contract, and also remembers that Kommunarka nurses last week left due to empty promises of authorities to increase wages, while even now doctors in Russia are not taking as much as promised to students. According to recent government data, the average salary for a nurse in Moscow is 70,000 rubles ($ 958.62), but in most places it is lower.
Kommersant writes that students must sign an agreement for practice, but most do not tell them where it will be and what exactly they will do. Only those young people with a chronic illness are exempt from the practice.
Putin “works day and night” and “is indifferent enough” to his rating

Peskov added that the president is concerned “indifferent enough” to fluctuations in your rating.
“Putin has always said that if you are afraid of a downgrade, there is simply nothing you can do. He has always spent more time on his work than the possible consequences of the rating.”said the spokesman. Peskov expressed confidence that Putin “He was and continues to be a politician who enjoys the support, trust and understanding of the vast majority of citizens of the Russian Federation.”
Speaking of the pandemic in Russia, Sands He is convinced that the statistics on infected and deceased in the country are not decreasing and that there are no reasons for such doubts. He expressed his hope that Russia was already entering the “plateau” of morbidity, but the self-isolation regime must be respected before May 11: “The situation will largely depend on how disciplined we are to stay home for the upcoming May holidays.”. On the contrary “There will be no plateau and the contagion curve will rise again”Peskov said.
According to him, the depth of the crisis that will follow the pandemic is unpredictable and there are hardly any economists who can predict exactly how the crisis will unfold in one sector or another and how long it will last. However, Russia has enough potential to mitigate the negative effects of the crisis, he emphasized.
“The state continues to fulfill the full scope of its social obligations”Peskov said, avoiding the direct answer to the question of why there is no direct financial assistance for citizens in the current difficult conditions.
