Vladimir Putin came out of isolation: on Monday, he held first from 6 April a working meeting in the Kremlin. Meanwhile, the government began to prepare the Russians to the holiday season. It, according to Michael mishustina, this year it is better and safer to spend at home. This will prevent re-importation of infection, and to avoid possible difficulties associated with return to Russia, said the Prime Minister.
the Mode of self-isolation in Moscow, valid until may 31. However, at the beginning of the work week, Vladimir Putin found it possible to leave the country residence of Novo-Ogaryovo and go to the Kremlin. The last time in his office, the President was already in the beginning of April, when his for an audience came the envoy to FEFD Yuri Trutnev and Minister for Far East development Alexander Kozlov.
In the future, almost all working meetings of the GDP spent via videoconference – even a mandate for the extension of the powers of the governors with expiring terms were received remotely. Personally, during isolation the President has taken in Novo-Ogaryovo only the security forces, as well as Igor Sechin. May 9, Putin came to Moscow to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the unknown soldier and watch the air show.
the First guest of the Kremlin became the head of Russian Railways Oleg Belozerov. The format of the meeting differed nothing from “to coronavirus era”: the distance between GDP and official – one desktop, which is clearly less than the recommended two metres. Both no masks and gloves.
Discussed, incidentally, is also not the infection: Putin has clearly become subordinate to return to “working normal”. For the second state-owned company received the President’s urgent request to a minimum to reduce investment. Railways on the basis of the coronavirus was planning “a little shift” and reduce investment by 200 billion rubles in part of these manipulations is to blame the President himself: it was he, in relation to expenses first began to use the expression “move right” or “move left”, and officials readily caught. However, as shows the case of Belozerov, not always correctly guess where it should be moved.
the government observed the same trend: at a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers Mikhail Mishustin for the first time in a long time, did not discuss coronavirus and bureaucratic procedures in construction. Excessive coordination, as requested by Putin, it is planned to liquidate. However, while the optimization only concerns socially significant objects.
However, the loudest statements Mishustin not addressed to subordinate Ministers, and all citizens of the country. The Russians, the Prime Minister said, this season it is better to refrain from traveling abroad. The situation with coronavirus in foreign countries is different, and no one can guarantee travelers protection from infection. A few days of rest, according to the head of the Cabinet, it is possible for��to latite too high a price. “We remember that coronavirus infection was imported from abroad. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to refrain from tourist trips abroad. It is necessary to exclude even the slightest possibility of re-importation to Russia”, – he stressed.
currently, several countries have already officially announced the beginning of the holiday season, the opening of the hotels and beaches. Others start low. The highest increase of cases while beloved by Russians in Turkey over the past day plus 1.1 thousand people. Spain – 482 new cases in Italy – 531, Bulgaria – 25, Greece – 2, Croatia – 1. Even the amount is significantly smaller than the Russian indicators (8599 infected, according to the 25 may). So if anyone should today fear of re-importation, it is rather Europe than Russia.
in addition to, the Russians were able to go on vacation abroad, a desire (or carelessness) of citizens is not enough. Should open – from both sides – outer border and to resume international flights. While there are no prerequisites for this in Russia is not visible.
Mikhail Mishustin on Monday recalled that the who “does not give recommendations for removal of restrictions on foreign travel”. From this we can conclude that the Russian government to get ahead of ourselves, as do some European countries not going.
According to sources “MK”, familiar with plans of the Cabinet, the authorities expect that in the summer foreign resorts will remain available for the Russians, and all who have money to invest in the recovery of domestic tourism, which was seriously damaged due to the coronavirus. Putin at the may 7 meeting urged officials to speed up the development of this segment “to form attractive routes to open new areas where it is easily accessible and fun”.
Mikhail Mishustin said that since June 1, many regions will resume the sanatorium with the medical license. “In the next stage with a favorable epidemiological situation, we can talk about the launch of the resorts in full,” he reassured him.
