Although the total number of cases of the Corona virus exceeded the threshold of 250 thousand and made it a global access point, Russia is still a long way from the death rates recorded by its counterparts, whether it was in Western Europe, or even in the United States, where the number of deaths reached around 86 thousand. It is remarkable, in this context, that the number of tests carried out by Russia, compared to the number of its population of approximately 114 million people, is among the highest in the world. On the occasion, he drew attention to the importance of the policy of intensive examinations, since the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, considered that it allowed the detection of cases in which symptoms of infection did not appear or appeared to be mild symptoms, which allowed prompt patient care and isolation. This approach, which involved conducting more than 6 million exams to date, or 42,000 / million (expected to double in the coming days), explains, according to the authorities, the low mortality rate in the country (2,305).
On the basis of these data, the Russian president decided, earlier this week, to end the mandatory holidays in force since the end of last March and gradually begin to lift the restrictions based on the epidemiological situation in each region, with the aim of reviving the economy, which has suffered greatly as a result of stone. Yesterday, he highlighted that the epidemiological situation is improving in the country, amid the decrease in the number of daily infections to less than 10,000, for the first time since the beginning of May, as it reached 9974 confirmed cases, increasing the number total to 252 thousand and 245 injuries. More than half the number of injuries, or 130,716, were counted in the capital Moscow, where near-universal isolation lasted until the end of this month. The only measure taken in the capital to reduce isolation is to reopen factories and construction workshops as two sectors with half a million workers.
Regarding the tests, Moscow, the epicenter of the epidemic, has announced that it will launch an intense detection campaign in an attempt to determine the true level of infection and the presence of antibodies against the virus in the bodies of citizens. Capital Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said in a television statement that as of today, 70,000 people will be chosen randomly every three days for exams, in a study “unique in the world.” And the Antivirus Center in Moscow cited his help, Anastasia Rakova, saying that the campaign aims to monitor the “presence of antibodies in the population”, which is essential to study the hypothesis of “collective immunity”. Subsequently, the results will be presented to those who have been examined with the recommendations of the doctors, and the general results will be published and taken into account when deciding to abandon the stone and the rest of the restrictions in force in Moscow until May 31.

The orders to facilitate the isolation measures included the reopening of companies and “essential sectors”, such as construction, industry, agriculture, communications, energy and the extraction of raw materials, as well as a series of new financial aids that Russia intends to provide families and businesses that have received tax breaks, hoping to curb the expected rise in unemployment rates. . Several Russian regions, less affected by the epidemic than the capital, allowed some shops to reopen, but most public places remain closed, including restaurants, while meetings are still banned until further notice.
During a meeting broadcast on official television yesterday, Putin noted that “in recent weeks, we have focused all our efforts on fighting the Corona virus and preparing emergency measures to support the economy and citizens,” he added during the meeting dedicated to The subject of genetic research, which was carried out through a video: “But the situation has changed” allows us to focus again on long-term objectives. “He considered that genetic research is so important that it is” similar to atomic projects and in the 20th century. “During the same meeting, Renat Maxiotov, director of the Victor Center for Research in Siberia, announced that his laboratory had developed six prototypes for vaccines,” three of which are promising, “the preclinical trials of which will end at end of June. He added that after that, he will move to human trials with 300 volunteers, hoping to “regi strar “a vaccine during September.
Supporting the aviation sector … is a priority
Yesterday, the Russian government announced the allocation of 23.4 billion rubles ($ 271 million) to help airlines badly affected by the epidemic. And the order issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a statement posted on the government website, was added to another order to support Russian aircraft manufacturers by helping aircraft rental companies and completing general requests for planes. Government regulations stipulate that 60% of assistance paid to companies will be allocated to pay employees’ wages, as the government indicated that the rent payment and the costs of parking machinery cannot exceed, respectively, 30% and 10% of the amount of assistance provided.
The Russian Federal Aviation Authority “Rosaviastia” stated that the national carrier “Aeroflot”, which includes the transport companies “Russia”, “Pobeda” and “Aurora”, had requested help, especially after the volume Russian air transport decreased by 91, 8% last April, compared to the same period last year, according to the Aviation Authority.
