But a final decision on the timing yet.
Spring call for military service in the army due epidemic coronavirus infection postponed to may and June (by law, it runs from 1 April to 15 July), but preparation for it goes at full speed. This was stated on April 29 the Ministry of defence, the chief of the mobilization management (GOMU) of the General staff Evgeny Burdinsky. This involves those activities that you can spend without calling recruits due fear of infection due to pandemic COVID-19.
While it is assumed that sending in troops will begin from may 20, said Burdinsky. Each recruit immediately after arrival at the Assembly point will be Express testing on the possible presence of coronavirus infection (the test takes about 15 minutes), will also be made temperature measurements and regular disinfection of premises and of transport involving troops. Physical examination, screening, dressing up and sending will affect only healthy recruits.
For the health of young recruits, all military transport designed to avoid contact with other persons, said head of the Goma. This rail transportation will be carried out in a separate rail cars or military echelons, and the number transported in the same carriage of troops has been reduced by a third. Civilian aircraft will be used for the download only to military commands.
the same strict measures of traffic, as previously stated the Minister of defence Sergei Shoigu, will be applied to retired military personnel — they will check for the virus and taken to station disinfected on transport of the Ministry of defense.
According to two sources close to the defense Ministry, the final decision on the appeal will depend on the epidemiological situation. We can assume that at least in the regions where there are many foci of infection, the call will be delayed.
