23 March 2020, Monday

During a working meeting with Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Denis Manturov held on March 23 in Kremlin, President of Russia Vladimir Putin instructed to provide citizens and specialists with the necessary materials to combat the coronavirus. The President especially emphasised: it is necessary to expand production volumes; this applies, in particular, to protective masks, disinfection fluids, devices, and medical equipment.

“We have 18 companies that have primarily focused on making facemasks. We expect a total of five million masks per day in the first half of April. As for other goods – medical equipment, lung ventilators, thermal imagers, non-contact thermometers, and UHF irradiators for disinfecting rooms – we are now also maximising production. The same concerns disinfectants”, reported the Minister.

“You have now named the most important elements of the work when it is important to exert maximum efforts for containing the possible spread of this infection. Therefore, I strongly hope that you, your colleagues and industry representatives who realise this will do everything possible to provide all the necessary materials, devices and medical equipment to the people and to our special services and units, so that they would have everything necessary for organising their work”, said Vladimir Putin.
