President Putin has declared the period from October 30 to November 7 "non-working days with pay-keeping"
As expected, Russian President Vladimir Putin supported Tatyana Golikova's "proposal" to introduce days off in the country from October 30 to November 7 inclusive. In the state interpretation, this again sounds like "pay days off".
During a video meeting, which the President held with representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers today, he said that "such a weekend is advisable due to the fact that they will help break the chain of the spread of the virus." The statement is interesting, but somewhat strange. After all, we are again talking about the fact that the weekend will not touch everyone, to put it mildly. If representatives of budgetary organizations and structures go out on a paid weekend, then for millions of other working Russians “weekends with pay”, as in previous times, will remain only a figure of speech. After all, it is difficult to imagine maintaining wages in production, where every day of production is extremely important.
At the same time, Putin urged the regional headquarters "not to underestimate and not embellish the picture." These words of the president also evoke a certain response. If the president pronounces them, does this mean that this kind of underestimation of the real morbidity and embellishment of data on this matter takes place in certain regions. After all, if everything is transparent, then why is the head of state forced to pay special attention to this?
Vladimir Putin on embellishing the picture on COVID-19:
It is also noted that Vladimir Putin, addressing the Russians, noted the need to open a sick leave if there is a coronavirus patient in the family.
The heads of the regions, in terms of morbidity data, received from the president the authority to introduce the "paid days off" regime ahead of schedule.
The government previously indicated that in connection with the decisions made on additional days off, a set of measures to support business is being prepared. The State Duma said earlier that by the end of 2020, Russia "became the leader in terms of social support during the pandemic among all the GXNUMX countries."
