The government has allocated 81 billion rubles to help companies affected by coronavirus

The government has allocated 81.1 billion rubles from the reserve fund for subsidies to small and medium-sized businesses that have suffered from restrictions due to the spread of coronavirus infection. This was reported on the website of the government.

At the same time, assistance will be provided only to those companies that retained at least 90% of their employees in March. "Financial assistance funds - 12,130 rubles (the minimum wage) for each employee can be used to solve urgent problems, including paying salaries," the message says.

It is noted that more than 970 thousand organizations can use the support.

Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed in April to provide financial support to small and medium-sized enterprises in the most affected industries.
