News that may affect you directly

We figured out where to go if you need help urgently. Because of the coronavirus, a lot of problems have appeared: someone has lost their job, someone needs help with groceries, someone just feels bad in isolation. Fortunately, charitable organizations and commercial companies have already begun to help people .

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin demanded that the heads of regions not close the borders. “Do not confuse regional powers with federal,” Mishustin addressed the leaders of Chechnya and the Chelyabinsk region, it was they who previously closed the borders due to the coronavirus. Ramzan Kadyrov has already refused to listen to the head of government .

Credit deferrals will not be available for all loans. Vladimir Putin in his first appeal said that the Russians, who lost a third of their income, would be given a deferment on loans. The government decided that a deferment would not be available for all loans , but only up to a certain amount. For example, for a mortgage it is one and a half million rubles, and for a consumer loan - 250 thousand rubles.

Russians from abroad will still be returned. On Friday it became known that all flights from abroad are canceled and 30,000 Russians cannot return to Russia. Then the authorities still backtracked. Today Mishustin promised that flights would be resumed.

We launched a layoff survey. If you have been fired, or your company is laying off people, or you yourself had to fire someone, please tell us .

What else

Sweden has not yet declared a quarantine, although more people have died from the coronavirus there than in other Scandinavian countries. The chief epidemiologist of the country believes that you still cannot force people to stay at home for a long time. The decision (or indecision) of the authorities is criticized by many Swedish scientists, and the government may still listen to them .

The coronavirus epidemic has reduced activity in the earth's crust. In normal times, seismic noise is created by large enterprises and transport. Due to the epidemic, factories closed, and there were fewer trains and cars. In Moscow, scientists also noticed a decrease in seismic noise .

Austrian Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz said that some of the restrictions could be lifted in the country next week. For example, open non-food stores . In Japan, on the contrary, they introduce a state of emergency : businesses will be asked to stop working, but this will not be necessary.
